Located right on the seafront with stunning views of the iconic Brighton Pier, Drakes is a charming boutique hotel featuring 20 beautifully designed bedrooms, all nestled within a pair of elegant Regency townhouses in the heart of Brighton.

Our fully air-conditioned bedrooms promise a restful night’s sleep, boasting luxurious ‘Vi Spring’ beds dressed in fine Egyptian cotton sheets, topped with plush goose and duck-down bedding. Many of our rooms offer free-standing baths that provide breathtaking views of the seafront – an ideal spot for an evening soak.

Conveniently positioned on Marine Parade, Drakes is just a short five-minute stroll from the Royal Pavilion, Brighton Pier, Sea Lanes swimming complex, Soho House, the War Memorial, and the vibrant Kemptown Races. It’s the perfect base to explore the city, enjoy the beautiful beaches, and immerse yourself in Brighton's lively social scene. Don’t forget to savor the glorious sunsets from our Cocktail Bar (or even from the comfort of your room) with a delightful drink in hand.

Please note, due to the historic nature of our building, there's no lift access to the upper floors. Should you need a lower or more accessible floor, simply let us know at the time of booking, and we will do our utmost to ensure your stay is comfortable and enjoyable.

8/10
Nice room, clean and modern. View of the sea from the window. Staff friendly and helpful. Location close to beach, pier 3 min walk. The Lanes about 10 min walk for shopping. Breakfast good, served with nice view. Building converted well, parking nearby available. Quiet spot but easy to get to main attractions like Pavilion or Brighton center in 10 minutes walk. Overall good stay, would recommend for beach access and central location without noise
