What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This seriously stylish hotel from the GuestHouse group can satisfy those cravings; it occupies a prime location along Brighton’s seafront that’s within walking distance of both the Palace Pier and the famous Lanes shopping district.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The front doors face the skeletal West Pier, and the pebble beach sits just across Kings Road.

The rooms
Peach-painted floorboards brighten the bedrooms, and each comes with a turntable and vinyl borrowed from reception.
The spa
Treatment rooms in the rear extension have raked concrete walls, and therapies use British seaweed and cooling cryoballs.
The copper bath
A freestanding hammered copper tub sits in a double treatment room, reserved for private saltwater and mineral soaks.
At the table
Pearly Cow serves local shellfish on ice and flame-grilled meats across a moody, dark-paneled lower-ground dining room.
How it began
Three brothers restored and linked four 1820s townhouses, previously run as two separate hotels, behind their original stucco facades.
