The Grade II listed Brighton Hotel is one of the most charming hotels in Brighton where you are guaranteed a warm and personal welcome.

We are just a short walk to Brighton’s main shopping areas, the famous Lanes with its cobbled passage ways and its myriad of little shops and boutiques, many of which are unique to Brighton. The Brighton Conference Centre is a five minute stroll away and we are literally a stone’s throw from the beach. The Brighton Hotel is a privately owned independent hotel that is large enough to have all the facilties you would expect but small enough to make you feel important to us and special.
The hotels elegant lounge, bar and restaurant have enviable sea views, a great place to relax and watch the world go by. We have 55 well-appointed rooms at the Brighton hotel, and while the hotel is right on the famous Brighton seafront it is just far enough out of the main centres noisy bars and clubs to be significantly quieter than many other seafront Brighton hotels.
