<p>The newest addition to the Brighton sea front and by far the most attractive, this hotel has everything you need for a 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 &#8211; and walking distance to the iconic Lanes. No. 124 Brighton has a newly opened spa, impressive restaurant and gorgeous bar. There’s even a sun terrace offering sea views and a great cocktail list. Some rooms have sweeping sea views and a balcony. Each room is finished within the highest standards possible and most importantly, has access to the complimentary snack lounge &#8211; which you’re welcome to frequent during you stay. </p>

<p>Slightly aside from the craziness of central Brighton is this gorgeous property just a two minute walk to the beach where you can take the paddle boards and five minute cab into all of the action. But once here you will not want to leave. There are 6 luxury bedrooms all with a&nbsp; spa like tranquility thanks in large, to the Japandi-inspired interiors. The communal space is equally as chic with a heated spa space outdoors complete with a fire pit, pergola, BBQ and views out over Brighton Marina and the sea. On the topic of great views, the property has floor to ceiling windows meaning you won’t be fighting over the best room: they all are the best.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A little outside of Brighton, with a quieter beach and cultural gems on the doorstep is The White Horses. Also a relative newcomer to the luxe scene in Brighton it has art deco inspired interiors, an elegant bar and not one, but two terraces. You can easily walk to the city under the coastal walk The Undercliff although that’s one for when you feel like exercise! The hotel’s crowning glory has to be the terrace, ideal to have your breakfast Bellini on, afternoon G&amp;T or sundowner as its has sweeping sea views. While there you can explore the Rottingdean windmill check out Rudyard Kipling’s former home and even, the hotel that inspired Cluedo. However, you may no want to leave selected rooms have a balcony or bath tub in the room looking out over the beach. Bliss.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Reimagine Brighton in its golden era with tea on the covered terrace, a cocktail accompanied by a live band and elegance everywhere you turn. One of Brighton’s most iconic establishments, The Grand, is a perfect pitstop and has that old school glam the rest of the city can at times lack. It’s a little slice of luxe right in the centre of the action and on the seafront (wherever else?) The rooms are generously sized with every last detail considered but that vibe starts as soon as the doorman complete in top hat ushers you inside as you catch a string quartet serenading guests. You won’t ever want to leave.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Given the name, it should come as no surprise that the rooms at this hotel have each been decorated individually by locally and international artists with furniture that has been lovingly up-cycled. It serves as a creative hangout &#8211; very much Brighton’s ethos &#8211;&nbsp; with sea views ideal for sunset. It’s made up of two 19th century town houses which creates space for not one, but two, restaurants as well as two bars. All four have a buzz to them even on quieter evenings and in keeping with the creative aesthetic, the cocktails flow freely. And Muddy ain’t complaining.&nbsp;</p>
