Brighton, one of Britain’s liveliest cities and often called London-by-the sea, has a bohemian, artistic and eccentric atmosphere that can’t be found anywhere else in the UK. Combining the modern with the traditional, Brighton has a heritage that is rooted in the Regency era and is brought up to date with a unique cultural offer.

Visit the Royal Pavilion, seaside fantasy palace of King George IV, built by John Nash. Stroll along the vibrant Beachfront with its Artists’ and Fishing Quarters, trendy bars and luxury clubs. Enjoy traditional seaside fun against the backdrop of Brighton’s Regency architecture, the Brighton Pier and Sea Life Centre. Shop for antiques and designer goods in the 17th century Lanes, or browse for bargains in the bohemian boutiques in North Laines. Add to that great nightlife, a lively arts scene, plenty of places to stay, over 400 restaurants, a non-stop programme of special events, including England’s largest international arts festival in May, and you have a unique holiday destination.

Browse our fantastic selection of luxury holiday accommodation right near the sea front, and enjoy a luxury break from London. Only 49 minutes by train from the capital, and easily accessible from the M25 and M23 motorways, Brighton really is the perfect city break by the sea.
