Thistle Brighton

As relaxed and easy-going as the city itself, Thistle Brighton is situated directly on the seafront and just a short stroll from the Pier, with some of the South’s best shopping, theatre and entertainment also within walking distance.

City sophistication meets seaside charm

These days, there are a million things to do in Brighton. But in the 18th Century, there was only one activity people wanted to try: Dr Richard Russell’s sea-water cure. When the Prince of Wales (later George IV) became a convert to the new-fangled idea of bathing in the sea, London high society followed, and Brighton hotels have been welcoming visitors to the city ever since.

Thistle Brighton is situated directly on the seafront with stunning views out to sea and of the famous Pier. Our recently refurbished Atrium creates a spectacular entrance to the hotel and is a welcoming place to relax and enjoy the views whilst dining or drinking in the restaurant and bars. The majority of our 210 air-conditioned bedrooms benefit from views of the sea or the Pier and some our rooms have recently been refurbished including our Penthouse Suite which now offers an outdoor terrace with hot tub.

Our hotel boasts 9 meeting and function rooms, ideal for conferences for up to 350 people theatre style, or 220 guests for a banquet or special occasion. If you're arriving by car, we have 68 on-site parking spaces available at an additional charge.

There’s no shortage of things to do: Brighton boasts some of the South’s best shopping, theatre and entertainment – and when it all gets too much, you can retreat to our newly refurbished Otium Health & Leisure Club, which has an indoor swimming pool and fully equipped gym.
