Brighton - the most favorite beach in Britain. Here are five of the best luxury hotels to retreat after a day of sun, sea and pebbles.
Kemp Townhouse
Kemp Townhouse is located on a quiet street and just a few steps from the seafront in the lively city of Kemp in Brighton. It is one of the best hotels in Brighton. The only five-star boutique residence of the seaside city is a little sanctuary of warmth and luxury from the sometimes cold sea breeze. The class II property is listed with the elegant charm of the old world, while the modern design is etched in the 21st century.
Big
This prominent Victorian building is part of a local icon along Brighton’s seafront and it’s not hard to see why. Occupying a paramount position for visitors, The Grand, the DeVere Hotel, sweeps along the promenade as one of the many flying seagulls. With 201 bedrooms and a 123-step staircase, the name certainly serves the hotel well. The Kings restaurant is right for this, with large pendants hanging overhead, and the English tradition of cream tea is served in the Victoria Lounge. A popular spot for filming, it also checked out in some of the world's elites from Dame Maggie Thatcher to former US President John F. Kennedy.
Drakes of Brighton
Stealing a reward for a fabulous place, Drakes from Brighton overlooking the quiet waters of the English Channel. The luxurious hotel with 20 modernly decorated bedrooms has a cocktail bar with a very attractive sea view as a backdrop that is open to guests for 24 hours. Ask nicely, and the hotel even arranges booking helicopter flights from Shoreham Airport via Brighton and South Downs for you.
Oriental
One of the original indentations of the boutique hotel Brighton, The Oriental - is a 4-star luxury hotel, located a few steps from the main attractions of the city. Wake up early for an early morning walkway along the seafront or cobbled beaches of Brighton, and then walk the boards along the infamous pier. For art lovers, the hotel often demonstrates the work of local artists on the walls.
Blanche House
Whatever Blanche House lacks in size, it certainly compensates, causing charm and friendship. It belongs to the team of husband and wife, located on a quiet Georgian territory, right behind the Brighton Quay. Only 12 rooms with private bathrooms, but they are very small. The award-winning lounge and cocktail bar is a real find, but a favorite home notice above the door is even more a winner for those who don’t want to leave their favorite animals at home. Details here and Fogarty goose and duck down duvets and pillows, reylon beds and a selection of DVDs and CDs available for borrowing from the reception, simply add to the feeling. This is family accommodation at its best.
