“Seafront boutique hotel with impressive sea and city views. Luxurious large light rooms all individually designed, some with window side free standing baths. A 24-hour bar will keep party seekers occupied. The modern European restaurant has been highly accoladed. Ideal for a stylish city stay.”

Hotel review

Of the ‘new wave’ Brighton hotels that boast boutique luxury and contemporary style, this is our favourite, with the added bonus of its superb seafront location (the Pier is in view from many of the rooms, a splendid sight when lit at night). Bedrooms have been expertly designed, with huge beds; best are circular with freestanding-baths. On the ground floor there’s a 24-hour bar, and in the basement, the excellent dilsk restaurant (fine dining). Service is particularly courteous and friendly.
