Brighton is many wonderful things: a picture-perfect seaside town just over an hour’s drive from London, a party city with a colourful nightlife, a quirky shopping destination with countless independent boutiques and, perhaps most importantly, it’s home to some of the best beach hotels in the UK . Checking in to one of our editor-approved favourites will make for a charming staycation. From new openings like Guesthouse, where 50 per cent of the rooms overlook the ocean, to forever hotspots like Artists’ Residence (both of which have outposts in the likes of Bath , Oxford, York and Cornwall ), there’s an argument to forego the Airbnb this time, and turn a weekend into a holiday.

Here, we round up the best hotels in Brighton to book now. How we choose the best hotels in Brighton Every hotel on this list has been selected independently by our editors and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has stayed at that property. When choosing hotels, our editors consider both luxury properties and boutique and lesser-known boltholes that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination.

We’re always looking for beautiful design, a great location and warm service – as well as serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new hotels open and existing ones evolve. For more information on how we review hotels and restaurants, please look at our About Us page.
