A HISTORIC seafront hotel will undergo a dramatic transformation for Halloween.

The 155-year-old Grand in Kings Road, Brighton, will turn bright orange.

The eye-catching colour scheme will begin at 6pm on Thursday, just in time for Halloween.

This fresh aesthetic will be achieved with its “underlit facade lighting” a feature it shares with only two other buildings in the city.

The Royal Pavilion is one of the remaining two.

Andrew Mosley, general manager at The Grand hotel, said: “We’re so excited to be one among a handful of iconic listed buildings in Brighton to have the privilege of using exterior light displays.

“We can’t wait to showcase our newly renovated façade with a full array of colours to commemorate key holiday dates and celebrations throughout the year.”
