The Best Luxury Hotels to Book in Brighton
Though Brighton is better known for old-fashioned seaside fun, the home of the Royal Pavilion – an opulent India-inspired palace built for George IV – knows how to do luxury with an unconventional take. From the city centre to Kemptown, Brighton’s boutique hotels master inspired theme rooms from tranquil nautical cabins to bizarre boudoirs, while its atmospheric spas have eye-catching treatments like bee venom and champagne facials. Here’s our round-up of the best luxury hotels in Brighton – bookable on Culture Trip.
1. The Grand Brighton
Luxury
This seafront institution is as grand as its name. Minutes from both Palace Pier and Hove Lawns, it’s perfectly placed for a stroll along the promenade – but arguably the best way to enjoy the view is from the emerald-accented tearoom over a pot of Ceylon and handmade scones. After your tea, indulge in a gold champagne facial at the spa or retire to your 1920s-furnished room to enjoy the gentle sage tones and a sea view.

3. Hotel du Vin Brighton

5. Sea Spray
Budget Hotel
Room with a sea view or room with a hot tub? These are the difficult decisions you’ll have to make at this Kemptown boutique when opting for a superior suite. Additional options include a penthouse suite or a luxury family room that can accommodate up to five. Wake up to a buffet breakfast in the dining room featuring omelettes, eggs Benedict and a traditional English, before heading out to nearby attractions like Brighton Pier, the Royal Pavilion and Palace Pier.
