Drakes Of Brighton

Boutique City Hotel

Trip Advisor Rating '.$item_trip.' Our Rating 8.8
 

Drakes, a chic and intimate 20-bedroom boutique hotel set in a pair of elegant Regency townhouses on Marine Parade, offers the perfect seaside escape in the heart of vibrant Brighton.

Overlooking the iconic Brighton Pier and just five minutes from the extraordinary Royal Pavilion, this sophisticated retreat captures the city's creative spirit, famous social scene, and glorious coastal charm—making it the ideal base to explore beaches, the Lanes' galleries and independent shops, Sea Lanes swimming, Soho House, the War Memorial, and the lively Kemptown Races.

The fully air-conditioned bedrooms are designed for pure indulgence, featuring luxurious Vi Spring beds dressed in Egyptian cotton sheets and sumptuous goose and duck-down bedding. Many rooms boast dramatic freestanding baths positioned to gaze out over the seafront, while all offer refined comfort, thoughtful modern amenities, and breathtaking views of the pier, ocean, or the city's glittering skyline—ensuring every stay feels both relaxing and deeply romantic.

The stylish Cocktail Bar is a highlight, perfect for savouring expertly crafted drinks while watching glorious Brighton sunsets over the sea, whether from the bar's prime vantage point or the privacy of your own bedroom. The hotel's intimate scale and attentive service create a welcoming, personalised atmosphere that makes every guest feel instantly at home in this lively yet serene seaside haven.

Due to the historic Regency layout, the building does not have lift access to the upper floors—please request a lower or more accessible room upon booking so the team can ensure your stay is as enjoyable and effortless as possible. With free WiFi throughout and its unbeatable location on the seafront, Drakes places guests at the epicentre of Brighton's beaches, cultural treasures, and electric energy—delivering an unforgettable blend of seaside sophistication and timeless coastal allure.
