The sun is shining, the whole weekend is ahead of you and you decide to take a trip to the East Sussex coast. How do you get there? Public transport? No way! It’s expensive and unreliable, and there’s never any room for your bucket and spade. So instead, pile the fishing net, the suncream and the rubber ring into the back of the car and hit the road.
In a rush? Need the TL;DR version?
The Best Hotels in Brighton & Hove With Parking
The thought of rail strikes needn’t cross your mind as you hurtle towards the coast at a safe and sensible speed, always making sure to follow the highway code. As you pull up to your accommodation for the weekend there will be no need to fret about pesky permits or parking attendants as here is a list of hotels in Brighton and Hove with parking included
A Room With A View
- 41 Marine Parade, Kemptown, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN2 1PE
- www.aroomwithaviewbrighton.com
We begin the list with a hotel that very much does what it says on the tin. When pulling back the curtains everyone is hoping for the hotel room that boasts an incredible seaside vista, and ‘A Room With A View’ delivers just that.
Situated in Kemptown, the upscale bed and breakfast is a literal stone’s throw from the beach, and it takes a leisurely nine minutes to reach the famous Brighton Pier. The rooms are bright, contemporary and chic, containing all the mod cons expected of an establishment such as this, including a flat-screen TV and a coffee machine.
The sea views from the rooms truly are stunning and at an upgraded price, you can secure yourself a private balcony or terrace. So why not forgo the flat-screen television and enjoy your morning coffee gazing across the horizon instead?
The Grand Brighton
- 97-99 Kings Rd, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN1 2FW
- www.grandbrighton.co.uk/
When it comes to fitting Brighton’s aesthetic there is none that fit the bill better than The Grand. With an opulent Victorian facade, the building stands proudly on the seafront mere moments from the hauntingly beautiful west pier.
More recently, the hotel has become eco-certified to move with Brighton and its community’s forward-thinking attitudes to the planet. Each room is ornately decorated with a fine eye for detail, staying true to its Victorian roots but keeping up with the needs of the modern 21st-century holiday-goer. Perhaps the Victorians would have slept better if they had Egyptian cotton sheets too.
Enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner in the lavish restaurants at The Grand, with decor and service that offers a true touch of luxury and a weekend away you will never forget.
Malmaison Brighton
- The Waterfront, Brighton Marina, Brighton and Hove, Brighton BN2 5WA

Situated in Brighton’s Marina the Malmaison offers respite from the hectic city centre and buzzing nightlife whilst still offering stunning sea views. The Malmaison allows you to take a deep breath and relax, just far enough away from it all but close enough that when you’re ready, you can hop into a cab and dive right back into it (if that’s your thing, of course).
The Malmaison really has it all; a multistory car park, Wi-Fi, laundry service as well 24/7 room service! In terms of value for money, the Malmaison is incredibly reasonable, with double rooms starting at around £100 and with use of the car park, wifi and breakfast included you can’t deny its affordability.
