Although this hotel is a major venue for conferences and weddings, it should not be overlooked for leisure travellers as a base for a break in Brighton. A traditional seafront hotel with a rich history, it has large rooms with impressive views, a super location and lots of public space including lounges and a restaurant and bar. It may lack some of the facilities that the other 'big boys' can boast but it has a charm of its own which would appeal to older couples and foreign visitors. There is a reason the Barcelò has survived over 450 years as a hotel and we suggest that you come and find out why for yourselves. Recommended for all types of traveller for any length of stay.

Brightonwave is a smart and stylish bed and breakfast with an envious location, which goes to prove that all good things come in small packages. A quiet and laid back property, owned and run by a couple with the very same qualities, it offers the perfect retreat for a weekend away from the city or indeed a base from which to explore all that 'London by the sea' has to offer. You'll be looked after very well here and we would recommend this property highly to couples or friends looking for a certain degree of luxury at a reasonable price.

A fairly standard hotel with only one type of room, the Jurys Inn is the kind of chain hotel that meets your basic needs and no more. True, it is comfortable, clean and conveniently located for transport links, but it lacks character and is one of the furthest establishments from the centre of Brighton. It would be a suitable base for business people or couples and families who are pushed for other options but if you book early enough you can find something much more inspiring closer into town.

We should all be thankful that Nineteen's owner, Mark, took the decision to get out of the rat race in the mid-Naughties, or else this intimate guesthouse may never have entered the Brighton accommodation scene. Full of touches not found elsewhere in the city, it is the ideal place to spend a lazy, romantic weekend home from home. You'll want for nothing during your stay as your every possible need has been taken care of - a luxury that you'll quickly get used to and be in danger of yearning once back home. Although primarily a favourite amongst those in their 20s and 30s, couples of all ages are welcome at Nineteen.

It is perhaps not surprising to find a hotel based on the principles of feng shui in Brighton, however to find one that has been designed by Karim Rashid, one of the hottest and most recognisable architect/designers in the world, may raise a few eyebrows (and I dare say turn a few stomachs in the design world). Undoubtedly one of the leading hotels in the city, the style of the hotel may not be to everyone's taste, but it certainly has the characteristics of a top bolthole: well-equipped, functional rooms, trendy restaurants/bars, a great location and attentive staff. This is probably not the most suitable place for a family to spend their break in Brighton, but perfect for couples and groups of friends looking to be right in the mix of things. A design fan's heaven, there are not many better all-round properties than this one.

Tucked away off the seafront, the Neo is a little gem of a hotel with some of the best interior design in the city and full of thoughtful touches that make it different from other B&Bs. A lot of time and effort has been put into trying to make this a home from home and we can tell you that this has been achieved with style and sophistication. Good sized rooms, a treatment room and a quiet location, the Neo is perfect for that weekend getaway as a couple or among friends. Although children are very welcome, this is not the best option for families.

They very fact that this hotel's name features the word 'bistro' tells you this is much more than just a place to sleep. The main focus of the Hotel du Vin is undoubtedly its food and wine. However, unlike other hotels where the emphasis is placed elsewhere other than in the rooms, one does not at any moment get the impression that this latter has been an afterthought. On the contrary, these are some of the best rooms in Brighton. One of our favourite properties in Brighton due to its stylish rooms, its professional, knowledgeable staff and above all the unrivalled atmosphere of its restaurant and in particular its bar, we thoroughly recommend this hotel to all those who appreciate their food and wine as well as those who want to experience one of the finest bars in the south of England.

Square comfortably finds its place amongst the relatively new tradition of stylish boutique hotels housed in Georgian town houses. The property can claim to have some of the best appointed rooms in the city and what's more, they are spacious and have good amenities. It is a laid back environment with pleasant, approachable staff and a decent, quiet location not too far away from the action. The hotel does have a cheeky side too and as such, kids are not allowed at the hotel, so it's more one for groups of friends or couples.

With its history, grandeur and class, the Hilton Metropole probably just pips it as the swankiest of the traditional seafront hotels. It may have changed hands many a time since its opening just before the turn of the 20th century, but it has managed to keep its allure and standing and is a fine tribute to Victorian England. That said, it has also succeeded in dragging itself into the 21st century with good facilities and a partial makeover. The standard of service expected from a Hilton is certainly present at this Brighton hotel, which is suitable for all types of traveller whether they be a family, a couple or friends.

There is no doubt about it; there is still a buzz around The Grand that no other hotel in Brighton can compete with. Very much the old boy of the city's hotels, its history and sheer physical grandeur on the seafront continue to attract every type of guest and there is no sign that this is about to stop. It has managed to remain faithful to its Victorian roots, in many respects the real pull, while at the same time adding sufficient touches of modernity so as not to lose out to the explosion of boutique hotels over the last decade. An opulent setting, spacious rooms with unbeatable views and unrivalled service make of The Grand the only place to stay for that authentic British seaside holiday of yesteryear for families, couples or friends. Quality never goes out of fashion.

Without a shadow of doubt, this is one of the finest hotels in Brighton. To be perfectly frank, we can't really think of anything negative at all to say about the hotel! Even its one obvious default, being far from the town centre, for us is in fact a distinct plus as instead you are right on the marina, a much quieter area of Brighton, with a touch of glamour in the yachts that are moored here. The boutique style rooms are beautifully appointed, décor of the hotel is second to none and the restaurant is one of the best we experienced. What's more, this is one of the only really family-friendly properties in Brighton with several features devised especially for kids. For a slightly different, yet just as special, Brighton experience, you have absolutely to consider the Seattle, one of our favourites.

Drakes is arguably the stand out hotel of the sea front, although it is in a very different mould to many of the established big boys further towards the centre. This is a top end boutique hotel excelling in every area with fresh, funky, functional rooms, a professional staff and a superb restaurant. It's no wonder that all this, together with its ideal location and warm welcome, have made it the choice of some big celebrity names. No need to be famous though to stay at Drakes. Everyone is welcome, including children, and Easyvoyage would encourage all those thinking of a break in Brighton to consider this gem.

This gem of a hotel, made up mainly of suites, is one of the finest in Brighton. Despite being housed, like many an establishment in this town, in a Regency building, the space and facilities of the rooms are incredible. Add to these top notch accommodations a great location, a husband-wife team and their staff who ooze passion for what they do and some tasteful décor and you have what TripAdvisor contributors crown the number one hotel in the town, and quite frankly it is difficult to argue. Strongly recommended for all types of traveller, for any length of stay. Particularly charming for couples looking for a romantic weekend getaway.

It's remarkable what you can find these days behind the façades of the Victorian terraces that line the streets off of the seafront. Probably the best all-round hotel package in Brighton, Blanch House gets it spot on from the rooms' design to the superb restaurant and from the choice of staff to the cocktail bar where any self-respecting dipsomaniac would want to be seen. The experience and enthusiasm of the husband and wife team is there for all to see and we challenge you not to enjoy your stay at this property. Although kids are allowed at Blanch House, it is essentially a retreat for couples looking for a sexy weekend away from the big city. A big thumbs up from easyvoyage.co.uk!
