Why we love it

The setting

This hotel is in the centre of Brighton, just a few minutes’ walk from the beach and the Volk’s Electric Railway line. The surrounding streets are lined with quaint cafes and promenades, and thanks to convenient transportation links to the Kemptown area, most of the city’s attractions are within walking distance. A short walk further into the city will take you to the quiet, green Queens Park, and buses running along the coastal road provide access to more distant destinations.

What to expect

This is a small boutique hotel with a spa, massage rooms, and its own bar and restaurant; free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel. The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, a desk, a TV, and tea- and coffee-making facilities. Guests can enjoy the hotel as a quiet, secluded retreat where they can relax, alternating between spa treatments, meals at the hotel restaurant, and walks along the beach or through the streets. Conference rooms are also available for short business trips.

Things to do nearby

The Folk tram line runs right next to this attraction and is perfect for a leisurely ride along the coast. The visitor information centre, where you can buy maps and tickets to events, is just a few minutes’ walk away, and thanks to its proximity to the green space of Queens Park, it’s the perfect place to relax in nature. Brighton Buddhist Centre and the Prince Regent Swimming Complex are within walking distance, so you can easily attend classes or go for a swim.

Best for

It’s perfect for couples looking to spend a weekend enjoying wellness treatments by the sea, as well as for tourists visiting the city who want to stay at a boutique hotel within walking distance of the waterfront, the streets, and cafes of Kemptown. It’s also a great choice for short business trips, during which guests can take advantage of the conference rooms.

How to get to the hotel

The nearest airport is London Gatwick; the train ride to Brighton Station takes about 30 minutes. From Brighton Station, you can reach the hotel in just a few minutes by taxi or walk down the hill toward the beach. From London Heathrow Airport, the trip takes about two hours—either by intercity bus or by train through central London. Direct trains depart regularly from London Victoria and London Bridge stations.

Your 2 days, loosely planned

Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.

Day 1

Seafront rides and Kemptown wanders

Start by having a cup of coffee in your room, then head over to the Volk’s Electric Railway, which is just a two-minute walk away. The train takes a leisurely ride along the coast. After returning via Kemptown and having lunch at a café, consider stopping by the visitor information centre for suggestions on how to spend the rest of the afternoon. You can spend the afternoon on the pebble beach or book a treatment at the hotel spa. After a cozy dinner at the hotel restaurant, enjoy a cocktail at the bar before bed.

Day 2

Park mornings and a swim

Take a walk to Queens Park, spend a peaceful morning in the shade of the trees, or enjoy a takeout coffee while sitting on a bench. If you’re interested in any events you can join on a whim, stop by the Brighton Buddhist Centre on your way back. You also recommend stopping by the Prince Regent Swimming Complex before heading out and swimming a few laps there. After lunch at “The Lane,” round out your day with another stroll along the waterfront before catching a train home from Brighton Station.
