Artist Residence Brighton is a creative, bohemian boutique hotel at 33 Regency Square, a handsome Regency terrace close to the seafront and the i360. It has the quirky, art-filled style the brand is known for, with individually decorated rooms, a ground-floor restaurant and bar, a coffee shop and a relaxed mood that suits couples and friends. A cooked-to-order breakfast is available for an extra charge, and the hotel is pet friendly, with luggage storage for early arrivals. Guests score it very highly for its character, staff and location, and it feels more like a stylish home than a hotel. For a midrange stay with personality, it is one of the most appealing addresses in the city.
Location and getting around
Regency Square is a quiet garden square just back from the seafront at the western end of the city centre, a couple of minutes from the i360 and the seafront promenade. The Lanes and the Palace Pier are about fifteen minutes on foot along the beach, and Brighton station is about a fifteen to twenty minute walk or a short taxi ride. The seafront bus routes pass nearby.
Rooms and what to ask for
Rooms vary in size and style, from compact doubles to larger rooms and apartments, so read the room descriptions closely and ask for a quieter room away from the street if you are a light sleeper. Some rooms have sea glimpses, which are worth asking about. Breakfast is cooked to order and charged separately, and the restaurant and bar are popular with locals as well as guests. Because it occupies a historic townhouse, expect stairs and some quirks, so check access if you have mobility needs.
Who it suits and what to know: couples, creative types and dog owners will enjoy it, and it is a good value pick for those who want style without a spa-hotel price tag. Parking details are not published for the property, so ask in advance and expect to use a public car park nearby. Weekends and summer fill up quickly. A night here makes a great base for the i360 and the museum quarter. Judge it on its guest reviews and character rather than a star label.
