Property Description
Drakes is the perfect base for your visit to the English seaside and its jewel – the great city of Brighton. Famed for its Victorian pier, extraordinary Royal Pavilion, the Lanes with its galleries and independent shops, Brighton has long inspired writers, artists and visitors from afar. Located on Marine Parade, five minutes from the Royal Pavilion, Brighton Pier, Sea Lanes swimming, Soho House, the War Memorial and close to Kemptown Races, Drakes is the ideal place to explore the city, to enjoy the sea and beaches, to experience its famous social scene and to watch the glorious sunsets from our Cocktail Bar (or your bedroom) with a tipple or two. Due to the historic layout of Drakes Hotel, the building does not have lift access to the upper floors. To ensure your comfort, if you require a lower or more accessible floor, please make this request upon booking so we can ensure your stay is as enjoyable as possible.

The room is located on the top floor. It has a small balcony where you can enjoy the sea breeze. The room is not big and is different from the booked room type. I made a special note of the required room type before! It’s a pity that I didn’t stay in the room type I wanted this time, but the hotel is in a good location.

Lovely weekend in Brighton
Perfect location on the seafront close to The Pier, Sealife centre and the lanes, great room and the team were lovely and really helpful.
Parking on a first come, first served basis which we were lucky to arrive on a fairly quiet weekend

Everything at the Drake was above any of my expectations! The hotel, built in the 1800’s, the ceilings alone are amazing. The staff were also above and beyond. It felt to me that they genuinely cared about my stay. The poached eggs on avocado toast was the best!
I’m not even exaggerating. I will be returning!

The hotel was ideally situated. A short walk from the town centre but far enough away to be quiet.

Best hotel in Brighton
This is my third time at the Drakes hotel and it keeps getting better and better. The rooms are gorgeous and the staff is amazing. But the main reason i love this place so much is the attention to detail: comfortable beds, home made shortbread in the rooms, the toiletries are exceptional quality and each room has its own personality.
