“The Southern Belle possesses a charm befitting its name, a boutique hotel steps from Brighton's seafront. I particularly appreciate the commitment to local drinks-Sussex ales and artisan gins alongside classic cocktails create a vibrant bar scene, and the rooms are more spacious than you might expect in a historic building. It stands out as a welcoming spot, ideal for friends or a relaxed vacation near the pier and pavilion.”
