THE charming Charm Brighton Boutique Hotel & Spa.
What’s it like? The newly refurbished listed hotel and spa is in the heart of Brighton’s Kemptown.
Perfect postcard character without skimping on modern-day luxuries.
Rooms any good? The upscale rooms have been restored to their original glory, with high ceilings, Victorian cornices, retro chic furniture and quirky art.
The King Suite has a sea-view balcony that looks out over the grand crescents and elegant squares.
Eat there or go out? A cooked breakfast or continental buffet is included, but let Brighton’s thriving food scene provide lunch and dinner.
Try seafood at The Regency and visit the Fairydust Bakery.
Brighton’s buzzing nightlife is on the doorstep – it is less than a minute’s walk to St James Street.
What else? The hotel’s extensive expansion included the addition of spa facilities, with a steam room, manicure/pedicure room and hot tub in a private garden.
With a bottle of prosecco, it is perfect for romantic couples or for a group of friends to relax before a night on the tiles.
What’s the damage? Rooms start from £90 and include breakfast.
Hour-long hot tub or steam room sessions are from £70 per couple. For details, call 01273 021 085 or visit the thecharmbrighton.co.uk.
