The Joys of June!
Still pelibrating our 25 years.

🥰 🥳 🎉

First let’s flashback to our already infamous house party and take a look at the brand spanking new short film about us
made by Joel of Big Plus.

Joel, we salute you!
Just watching this film of our recent party makes us happy all over again,
so much love in the rooms.

💖

Joel runs a film and video production agency and is passionate for both commercial and artisan projects.

Despite appearances here, he’s a good egg and brilliantly captured our spirit and festivities in both digital and super 8 creating a textured feel to our mini doc.

He replied:
Loved making this for @hotelpelirocco’s 25th 🎉
Brighton’s finest professional party people I salute you back.
Thanks for having BigPlus along for the ride 💥
don letts film still
When the DJ who introduced reggae to the punks general trailblazer Don Letts, the ‘Rebel Dread’ himself, says in the film,

“Places like this, where people can come together for a collective and synchronised experience…are to be treasured”

…we know we must have been doing something right all this time.

Big thanks to everyone who’s stayed with us or helped us celebrate over the last 25 years.

Long may we all reign.

 25 YEARS OF HOTEL PELIROCCO – Discover Magazine by Sam Harman
‘The iconic Hotel Pelirocco celebrates its 25th anniversary this year. Longstanding hotel general manager, Marko, shares his early hedonistic memories of the venue with us.’

🏩

“I started working at a faded old chintzy B&B, back then called the Pavilion Hotel, in 1998 – cleaning rooms for cash in hand. I was doing a little studying but more into raving on the hills in the late 90 free party scene. All nighters outdoors would be followed by all dayers at Bust the Box in any haunt that would have it (before they got kicked to the next venue for over enthusiastic partying.)
One summer, the Pavilion Hotel was taken over by a couple who came down from London, Mick Robinson and Jane Slater, who renamed it Hotel Pelirocco…”

Article continues:
Article”After confirming I still had a job, they told me to go and look at their first refurbishments. ‘Dotty’ a small single room had been dedicated to 60’s avant garde Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama so was now electric orange with black dots all over. And I mean, ALL over. Floor, ceiling, furniture, bed spread, everything was orange with black dots. Very relaxing…!”
“In the Easter of 2000 The Boys from Faith came down from London to centre their weekend of relentless partying around the Peli bar. So one messy stopover later, you could consider Hotel Pelirocco well and truly opened! This epic weekend introduced the Rocco as a home for ex acid house clubbers to rest their weary legs and heads to refuel before hitting the clubs of Brighton. The legend had begun.”

“A whole twenty five years later, it’s proud to be a proper grown up Boutique Hotel. It’s been in the local and national press and on Good Morning Britain. It has hosted myriad gigs in the bar, even our annual alternative Great Escape festival. We’ve had Fatboy Slim and ADF (Asian Dub Foundation) perform here plus hosted infamous afterparties for The Strokes, Primal Scream and many others. Our 19-rooms are annually refreshed or rethemed and the parties that introduce the novel and bohemian designs are renowned. No longer Brighton’s best kept secret, we’re everyone’s favourite hotel, whispered about from London to Paris, New York to Munich.”

😃 Rave on – new group curated art exhibition 😃

🍷💥🍷💥🍷💥🍷💥

What’ve we got to smile about? We welcomed our latest art collab recently, a collection of truly vibrant irreverent pieces all themed around Rave Culture of the 90s.

The spirit of the times is captured by multimedia artworks including signs, paintings and myriad representations of  those familiar happy chappies in a variety of patterns and textures. Remember them? We don’t 😜

Hotel Pelirocco
Colorful art pieces on a patterned wall including a vibrant cartoon-style painting of a character outlined with rainbow lines on the left, a circular sculpture with multi-colored smiley faces in the center, and a large yellow smiley face sculpture below it, with a brown torso-shaped lamp with floral lampshade on the right against a yellow wall with skull and flower pattern.
rock n roll sign mark

Little touches…in Salon Rouge

Bed with a large red heart-shaped headboard outlined in gold, decorated with three patterned pillows and surrounded by sheer red curtains.
A close-up of a burgundy velvet tufted sofa with a round velvet pillow and a patterned rectangular pillow, against a wooden backdrop with a carved floral design at the top center, with sheer burgundy fabric tied with gold ribbons on the right side.

Salon Rouge is one of our newest and, let’s face it, sexiest rooms and consequently, we’ve had to replace the headboard already. So we have felt it up…(actually velvet!)

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This romantic heart shaped one is curvy, comfy and built to stay the distance!
