The best hotels in Brighton and Hove, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Artist Residence Brighton comes out on top.

  1. Local artists once traded paintings for a place to sleep, which is how this Regency Square boutique hotel ended up with rooms no interior designer would have dared plan. The Tiny rooms are genuinely tiny, the Bigger Balcony Sea View is exactly that, and Blakes, the in-house restaurant, runs an open grill. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Key. Unpretentious is the operating principle, and Brighton, being Brighton, approves.

  2. The 49 rooms here are spread across several buildings, some mock-Tudor, some Gothic revival, none of them matching, which is either chaotic or perfect for Brighton and probably both. This boutique hotel sits close enough to the seafront to smell it, and the rooms lean into the city's ramshackle spirit rather than fighting it. The top suite puts twin freestanding tubs in the middle of the bedroom, which says everything about the tone. The Bistro du Vin handles dinner.

  3. Seagulls, salt air, and a view of the Channel that makes the price feel inevitable: this sleek GuestHouse hotel sits right on Brighton's seafront, a short walk from the Palace Pier and the Lanes. Rooms are bright and styled with a nod to the city, and the ones facing the water are the obvious ask at booking. It's the kind of hotel that makes you feel smug for not staying inland.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
