Located on the seafront overlooking the Brighton Pier, Drakes is a 20 bedroom boutique hotel set in a pair of Regency townhouses in the heart of Brighton. The fully air-conditioned bedrooms have ‘Vi Spring’ beds adorned with Egyptian cotton sheets and goose and duck-down bedding, many of the rooms feature free standing baths looking out over the seafront. Positioned on Marine Parade, five minutes from the Royal Pavilion, Brighton Pier, Sea Lanes swimming, Soho House, the War Memorial and close to Kemptown Races, Drakes is the ideal place to explore the city, to enjoy the sea and beaches, to experience its famous social scene and to watch the glorious sunsets from our Cocktail Bar (or your bedroom) with a tipple or two. Due to the historic layout, the building does not have lift access to the upper floors, if you require a lower or more accessible floor, please make this request upon booking so we can ensure your stay is as enjoyable as possible.

    The hotel is stylish, clean and in a part of Brighton where noise was at a minimum.

    I really enjoyed the breakfast and liked the menu but people looking for cereals wouldn’t have much choice. The staff were outstanding, friendly and helpful. The room was great in all aspects and the location perfect, right on the sea front.

    A great boutique hotel in a fantastic location. Very well presented room and great use of the architecture of the regency building. A lovely lounge and bar area with views of the sea, to sit and enjoy one of the cocktails on offer. Also great...
