Where to stay in Brighton: the best areas

Seafront

On the seafront, between the Palace Pier and the West Pier, there are large Victorian hotels and guesthouses with views over the Channel. It is the liveliest area, especially in summer.

The Lanes and North Laine

In the old town and the bohemian district near the station there are small hotels and apartments among shops, cafรฉs and bars. It is central and very lively.

Kemptown and Hove

To the east, Kemptown has B&Bs in colourful houses and an LGBT scene; to the west, Hove is quieter and more residential, with slightly cheaper seafront hotels.
