Artist Residence Brighton
Last updated: 28 October, 2022
If Brighton was a hotel, it would probably be this quirky, art-themed, boho-chic hotel that sits at the head of Regency Square, looking straight out to sea. Every room is different, from small cubbyhole rooms up in the eaves, to light-filled rooms with clawfooted baths tucked away behind exposed brick walls.
The art is a diverse mix that engages rather than overwhelms, with more works dotting the Clubhouse – a buzzy bar and restaurant that’s home to everyone from locals on their laptops to overseas guests.
Although the hotel feels young and hip, the welcome is warm for travellers of all ages, and anyone who wants to get under the skin of this extraordinary city.
Surrounding area
Regency Square is a plum location – a leafy square that somehow manages to keep a sense of peace and quiet in spite of being right in the heart of central Brighton. The seafront is a minute’s walk; the historic Lanes and North Laine area are five minutes’ stroll.
For a breather from the hectic pace of Brighton, hit the seafront and head west to the genteel streets and quiet cafes of Hove.
