A recently-rebranded hotel has hosted a celebration after officially unveiling its new identity.

The DoubleTree by Hilton Brighton Metropole opened its doors to the public with funfair stalls and dodgems to mark the hotel’s re-launch.

The party comes after the new name was officially unveiled on the front of the building and launched a new chapter in the hotel’s over 100-year history.

Rekha Sohun, general manager of the hotel, said: “It was a fantastic event, which celebrated not only this exciting rebrand, but the city itself, which this historic hotel is such an integral part of.
