Background

History

The Sea Marge was designed by Architect Sir Arthur William Blomfield and was built between 1908 and 1912 as a country home for Sir Edgar Speyer. Speyer was an American-born financier and philanthropist of German parentage. Speyer was chairman of Speyer Brothers, an international finance house and chairman of the Underground Electric Railways Company of London (UERL, forerunner of the London Underground) from 1906 to 1915. Speyer rescued the Promenade Concerts from disaster and directed the funding of Captain Scott's Antarctic expeditions.

Description

In 1996, the Sea Marge was bought and restored by Marc and Liz Mackenzie. They re-opened it as the historic Grade II listed hotel it remains to this day, with the interior restored with the Edwardian fixtures and features retained respectfully. The hotel retains the gardens and terraced lawns that run down to the coastal path and beach beyond.
