Hotels with Beach Access in Brighton & Hove

Why families love The Grand Brighton

The Grand is the classic seafront address in Brighton, a five-minute walk from Brighton Pier, so arcades, the beach and the promenade are all close for children. Family suites give space, the swimming pool is there when the sea is too cold, and parents can book time in the spa and wellness centre. Pets are accepted, which is unusual for a five-star. Rated 8.9 by almost 8,500 guests, I would choose it for a special family weekend.

Why families love Hotel Du Vin & Bistro Brighton

Families staying here will benefit from the excellent location, with direct access to the beach and promenade, perfect for strolls with children. The pet-friendly policy means the whole family can enjoy the trip. The on-site restaurant and bar provide convenient dining options after a day of exploring Brighton.

Why families love Leonardo Royal Hotel Brighton Waterfront

Direct beach access and Brighton Pier about 400 metres away make this seafront Leonardo Royal an easy pick for a family weekend by the sea. When the weather turns, the indoor pool keeps children swimming, and parents can use the spa and wellness facilities. Family suites give everyone room, and the restaurant looks out over the water. Rated 8.5 by more than 11,000 guests, I would choose it for families who want the beach and the pier without needing a car.

Why families love New Steine Hotel - B&B

Families staying here will appreciate the practical amenities like family suites and bicycle rental, perfect for exploring Brighton's seafront. The central location in a charming Georgian townhouse provides a comfortable base, with beach access just a short stroll away for family outings.

Why families love DoubleTree By Hilton Brighton Metropole

I like the DoubleTree Brighton Metropole for families who want the seafront without giving up an indoor pool, which matters on grey English days. The building pairs Victorian architecture with a recent refurbishment, rooms are large, and family suites are available. Beyond the pool there is a fitness centre and spa, two restaurants on site, and direct access to the beach in front of the hotel. Pets are welcome too, so the family dog can come along.

Why families love ibis Brighton City Centre - Station

Next to Brighton railway station, the ibis Brighton City Centre is the easy choice for a family arriving by train: bags dropped in minutes, and the centre and seafront within walking distance. Soundproofed rooms help children sleep, family suites provide space, and the restaurant serves light meals and continental breakfasts. Pets are accepted, and there is a bar for parents. There is no pool or play area listed, so with an 8.0 rating from about 4,800 reviews, I would book it for location and convenience.

Why families love Queens Hotel & Spa

Queens Hotel & Spa stands on the Brighton seafront by The Lanes, with direct beach access, so children are on the shingle within minutes. The indoor swimming pool is a good fallback on grey days, family suites give space, and pets are accepted. The rooms are described as spacious and modern, and parents have a spa. Its 7.9 rating from about 6,900 reviews is fair rather than outstanding, so I would book it mainly for the seafront position and the pool.

Why families love Four Points Flex by Sheraton Brighton Seafront

Set in a Grade II listed building in central Brighton, the Four Points Flex Seafront offers sea views from many of its rooms, a simple pleasure for children waking up by the beach. Family suites give some space, all rooms are en suite with a hospitality tray, and pets are accepted. There is no pool, restaurant or play area mentioned, and the 7.6 rating from about 4,800 reviews is modest, so I would book it for the seafront position and the views rather than for its facilities.

Why families love Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront by IHG

Sea-facing, air-conditioned rooms and direct beach access are the reasons to choose the Holiday Inn Brighton Seafront, and children can be on the beach within minutes. The Open Lobby bar and restaurant has a terrace with beach views, handy for a relaxed lunch, and family suites give some space. Rooms have tea and coffee facilities, and pets are accepted. There is no pool or play area listed, and the 7.4 rating from about 5,200 reviews is modest, so I would book it for the seafront position.

Why families love The Old Ship Hotel

The Old Ship is a Georgian building right on the Brighton seafront, with the beach, the pier, shops and restaurants all within easy reach, which is what most families come here for. Family suites give some space, rooms have tea and coffee facilities, and the bar looks out to sea. There is no pool or play area listed, and the 7.2 rating from about 6,600 reviews is modest, so I would book it for the location and the views rather than for the facilities.
