The Neo-Georgian offices were built to the design of prolific local architect John Leopold Denman and feature decorative carvings by Joseph Cribb.

The Pavilion was built as a house for the Prince of Wales and later transformed into a royal palace upon his accession to the throne as King George IV.

His successor King William IV commissioned new buildings at the south end of the estate in 1831, including offices, servants' quarters and guest bedrooms.

[1] The site had been occupied by the Pavilion's guest bedrooms, and parts of the yellow brick, flint and cobblestone walls were left standing and were incorporated into the rear of the new offices.

Born in Brighton, he designed a wide range of commercial and civic buildings, churches, pubs and hotels in the town and elsewhere in Sussex.

[11] After refurbishment it reopened in summer 2022; but in August 2024 it was announced that All Bar One would be vacating the building at the end of September, at which point the whole premises, including the leased offices on the first and second floors, were to be marketed for sale for £2.65 million.

[12] The building features prominently in the 1965 film Be My Guest, sequel to Live It Up!, in which the main character Dave gets a job at the Brighton Herald.

The Council considers that it "contributes positively to the area and the approach to the Royal Pavilion" and is a "good example" of an interwar commercial building and of the work of John Leopold Denman.

[5] The three-storey building is constructed of handmade brown and red bricks and Portland stone and has a symmetrical façade with eight bays to the upper storeys and nine at ground-floor level.
