Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Regency Square
A Regency townhouse on a handsome garden square just back from the seafront, Artist Residence is one of Brighton's most characterful boutique hotels — each of its 24 rooms is individually decorated by a different artist, with an excellent basement restaurant and bar.
City Centre
A series of converted mock-Tudor Gothic townhouses near the seafront, Hotel du Vin delivers its trademark wine-themed rooms with signature exposed brick, monsoon showers, and one of Brighton's best bistro restaurants. A dependably excellent mid-luxury choice.
Seafront
Brighton's most famous hotel — a magnificent 1864 Victorian wedding cake on the seafront with uninterrupted sea views, a beautiful spa, and rooms ranging from charming period suites to contemporary sea-view doubles. History, glamour, and the Channel on your doorstep.
Seafront
A large contemporary hotel on the seafront with a superb rooftop spa and pool with panoramic Channel views — one of Brighton's best spa facilities. Modern rooms are well-equipped and comfortable with direct sea-view options.
Seafront
A sleek, adult-focused boutique hotel directly on the seafront with some of Brighton's most dramatically designed rooms — think floor-to-ceiling sea views, free-standing baths, and bespoke furniture. The basement restaurant with its curved banquettes is one of Brighton's most romantic.
Hove
A discreet, design-forward boutique hotel in the quieter Hove end of the seafront, Neo delivers beautifully minimalist rooms, some with direct sea views, at prices that undercut comparable Brighton properties. Excellent for a calmer, more grown-up Brighton experience.
