You can’t more luxe or closer to the beach than at the absolutely gorgeous No. 124 Brighton. Part of the Guesthouse collection of elite hotels (with venues in Bath, York and Margate),  this new hotel makes for one seriously chic coastal stay.

It’s perfectly positioned away from the main hustle, but still on the beach front, opposite the ruins of the former West Pier – and walking distance to the iconic Lanes. It’s a hybrid of Victorian and Regency architecture with incredible interiors spreading across all areas including the 32 luxury rooms and suites. Selected room have sea views, but all have premium high end finishes, luxurious bedding and the all essential access to the complimentary Pantry, a treat room of drinks, nibbles and sweets. What a touch!

The jewel in the crown has to be Field Trip Spa with an aromatic wild garden that instantly soothe away any stress. Once inside the spa you’ll be cocooned into a retreat of calm. The spa has lots of natural light and the treatments use organic, vegan and sustainably sourced oils and essences to create the ultimate eco-luxury experience. You’ll want to book into their signature experience: the copper bath ritual for two.

During cooler climes you can take your seat at the bar sipping on cocktails and playing board games while looking out at the sea. Or head to the winter garden, The Courtyard, for that inside outside vibe and relax in style whatever the weather.

Come summer, set up residency on the stunning terrace soaking up the sunshine, beach views and impressive menu. Hungry for more? Then the hotel’s restaurant Pearly Cow serves the best of land and sea in a beautiful setting.

The only issue is you’ll never want to leave.
