Drakes Hotel
Drakes luxury boutique hotel is a favourite for those travelling on a less-strict budget. They offer luxury accommodation with some of the finest views of Brighton Palace Pier available. A definite winner here is the Georgian window-adjacent bathtub, where you can relax and take in the ocean views from the luxury of an oversized bathtub. The Egyptian cotton sheets, velvet throws, and goose- or duck-down bedding is the cherry on top of the cake.

Malmaison Brighton
Located in Brighton Marina, the Malmaison Brighton has spectacular ocean and marina views. We like that it’s a bit out of the way from the city centre, while still being within a few minutes’ walk from the beach. The rooms feature modern and stylish art, and are all very light and bright, but it’s not like you’ll want to spend to much time in them anyway. You’re much more likely to fid yourself spending your time out on the outdoor terrace, enjoying the best of modern British cuisine while overlooking the marina happenings.
Guest parking is free.
