Overview

What this property combines for overnight guests

Grosvenor Casino Southend is listed on Church Road, Southend-on-Sea SS1 2AL, inside the Palace Hotel building now operated as a Park Inn by Radisson. The SENSE participating-casinos list likewise places Grosvenor Southend at the Palace Hotel on Church Road.

That shared building is why this coastal property qualifies when Kent itself does not offer a comparable casino hotel. From north and east Kent the estuary crossing or a rail run into Southend is often simpler than a full London overnight.

Confirm current hotel branding, room categories and casino hours on the official Radisson and Grosvenor pages — seaside properties renovate and rebrand more often than travellers expect.
