Un complesso architettonico che sembra essere stato portato direttamente dall'India. Le forme orientaleggianti, le torrette, tutto richiama l'India. Noi lo abbiamo soltanto ammirato da fuori, non avevamo tempo purtroppo per visitarlo all'interno, è comunque molto bello. Tra l'altro intorno è circondato, quasi per tutto il perimetro, da un piccolo parco in cui rilassarsi. Assolutamente da non perdere se si visita Brighton.

Fascinating place to visit. Seeing the opulence that was created for one person! Need to be able to walk upstairs for the full effect.

This is truly beautiful and wonderfully restored. An absolute whimsy of a design inspired by Chinese art and culture from the 19th century. Interesting history of its time as the Indian hospital during the Great War. Definitely worth a day trip to Brighton and visit the Royal Pavilion, gardens and area.
