Loved by The Southern Belle guests
"Our room (no. 5 floor on the 1st floor) was lovely; the best we've stayed in at any hotel in the city."
"The room was spotlessly clean and modern (a mix of metrodecco and showgirl)."
"We had a partial sea view from the big bay window at the front of the hotel (2nd floor)."

“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.”
