Hotel Accommodation in Sussex

Brighton Hotels

After having a long tradition of tourism, which dates back to the 18th century, this seaside resort can truly be equated with the word 'fun': it has everything from family-fun beaches, a famous pier (Brighton Pier), restaurants, festivals and exciting nightclubs. It's also packed full of history, and features some of Britain's most famous Regency architectural landmarks, like the Royal Pavilion. There's a goldmine of information about Brighton in the iknow-sussex Tourist Information Pages on Brighton.

You can find loads of hotel accommodation dotted all over Brighton: great for short city breaks or family holidays. Brighton seafront hotels line the promenade and have great views overlooking the beach and sea. Other Brighton hotels are located more centrally, and can be found within the city itself. Typically, the cost of a hotel room can be anywhere from under £25 to over £45, depending of course on the class of hotel you wish to stay in (star rating etc). Budget Brighton hotels cost between £25 and £35. They are usually built to a quality standard, very family-friendly, and sometimes offer breakfast. The hotels are often straightforward, offering basic amenities like tea and coffee making facilities and en-suite bedrooms.

With luxury Brighton hotels you're likely to receive rooms with great views, high standards of service, dinner and breakfast options, as well as access to the internet and leisure facilities. For premium accommodation like this, though, you will have to pay at least £45 per person per night.

Prices can be affected wildly depending on the location you choose. A prominent hotel near Brighton Pier, for instance, could be more expensive than a hotel further away. However, this can also depend on the quality of the hotel itself. A 'cheap' hotel further away could have the same quality as a 'budget' Brighton hotel in a good location on the seafront. Such factors need to be considered when choosing where to stay. You can check the iknow-sussex hotel accommodation listings to see what's available.
