Artist Residence

Artist Residence

At 33 Regency Square, Artist Residence sits next to the beach, close enough that sea-view rooms come with balconies looking straight out over Brighton's shingle and the sound of the water below. The place carries a creative, bohemian character, the kind of hotel where guests treat the ping-pong table as seriously as the bar. There are 25 rooms spread over five floors, among them a bridal suite, and there is no lift, worth noting if stairs and suitcases don't mix for you. Evenings run through a restaurant and bar downstairs, breakfast is served, and a diet menu is available on request. A conference hall and meeting space cover small business trips, a playroom keeps children occupied, and pets are allowed for a modest extra charge, a rarer offer among Brighton's seafront addresses and the one real point of difference here: a beachfront hotel that will actually take your dog. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout, luggage storage and express or contactless check-in smooth arrivals, and check-in from 3pm with checkout by 11am keeps things simple. Parking is not on site; expect a chargeable spot nearby and a walk. Hen and stag parties are turned away by house policy, so it stays a place for couples, solo travellers, and small families rather than weekend crowds. It suits someone who wants Brighton's seafront without a corporate lobby, who doesn't mind stairs, and who would rather bring the dog than leave it behind. It will frustrate anyone wanting a lift, a hushed reception, or a stag do venue. Book knowing exactly what you're getting: creative, characterful, and steps from the water. A creative, bohemian hotel next to Brighton's beach, with sea-view balconies, a ping-pong table, and the rare offer of taking your dog along. Twenty-five rooms sit across five floors with no lift, and hen and stag parties aren't accepted. Good for couples and pet owners who want character over polish.
