Alternatives
Other hotels we have written up that may suit a different brief.
Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront
- Best for
- Families, groups, conferences, wet-weather weekends and travellers wanting a pool near The Lanes and pier.
- Trade-off
- The hotel is a large 210-room property rather than an intimate Brighton townhouse
The practical full-service shortlist choice beside the central beach, with family and connecting rooms plus a residents’ pool, but its 210-room scale and busy setting are different from Brighton’s small townhouse hotels.
Booking tipChoose the room type deliberately: only selected categories have fuller sea views, and family, connecting and accessible rooms should be pre-reserved.
Hotel du Vin Brighton
- Best for
- First visits, couples, food-and-wine weekends and travellers who want The Lanes outside the door.
- Trade-off
- The 49 rooms vary in shape, size, bed and bathroom configuration
The strongest character-led shortlist choice for staying inside The Lanes, with 49 individual rooms and an on-site bistro, but the historic multi-building layout makes the exact room and access route important.
Booking tipAsk which building, floor, bed and bathroom the named room occupies; photographs illustrate a category rather than one guaranteed layout.
No.124 Brighton by GuestHouse
- Best for
- Design-conscious couples, selected family rooms, selected dog-friendly stays and travellers who will use the hotel’s lounges and treatment spa.
- Trade-off
- There is no on-site hotel parking
A design-led 32-room seafront hotel for travellers who want a smaller stay with an on-site treatment spa and public rooms, provided they accept off-site parking and verify the steps to the assigned room.
Booking tipAsk reservations to confirm the room outlook, every internal step and whether the selected rate includes the spa experience you expect.
