Gay Brighton

    The Best Gay Friendly Hotels in Brighton

    Brighton has one of the largest gay communities in the UK and is often referred to as its 'gay capital'.

    From chic boutique hotels to grand Victorian buildings, Brighton is home to many great hotels. For those seeking luxury, hotels like The Grand Brighton provide an opulent experience with sea views and top-notch amenities. Boutique hotels such as Artist Residence offer a more intimate and uniquely styled stay, featuring rooms decorated by local artists.

    If you're planning a trip for Brighton Pride you'll need to book your hotel in advance. Most hotels will reach full occupancy during Pride weekend and prices will rise accordingly.

    Why this hotel? Most Famous Hotel In Town. Old school luxury.

    By far the most famous hotel in Brighton, The Grand is a classic seaside luxury retreat. It's one to tick off your bucket list. You'll be able to say, "I stayed at The Grand in Brighton, you know." It's right on the seafront in an unbeatable location. Although it's a historic hotel, the decor isn't old and stuffy - it was recently refurbed. The colour palette is light and airy, benefitting from the bright light in spring and summer.

    The Grand is, of course, a major landmark in UK history. The IRA almost succeeded in assassinating Margaret Thatcher at this hotel in 1984. They failed but had they succeeded history would have taken a different turn.

    Afternoon tea at The Grand is quite an experience. This is a fab choice for a gay stay in Brighton.

    Why this hotel? Beachfront location Comfortable rooms. Near the gay bars.
    If you walk along the Promenade, you might think that The Waterfront (until recently Thistle Brighton) was a tired old office block. Outwardly the worst of British 1970's design, but inside it is a rather good hotel.  It features a swimming pool, spa and small gym.

    The air-conditioned guest rooms are spacious, modern and equipped with a very comfortable king-sized bed and free WiFi. The front-facing deluxe rooms have excellent sea views.

    The hotel has its own private underground car park (fees apply). If you visit Brighton and try to find a parking spot overnight, you will appreciate just how useful this facility is.

    The beach is right across the road, and it is just a 5-minute walk to the gay bars & clubs in Kemptown.
