4-star hotels in Brighton

Brighton pairs a lively seaside promenade with the narrow lanes of its old town, and visitors come for the beach, the pier and the mix of independent shops, cafés and evening entertainment. The city suits couples on a short break, families and anyone wanting a base for exploring the South Downs. These 4-star hotels cover seafront and city-centre addresses. Summer is the busiest and warmest time to visit, while spring and autumn bring quieter streets and milder weather.
