| There''s old-style glamour in the original chequered flooring, high ceilings and ornate chandeliers of this quiet Victorian villa, but recent refurbishment adds a modern twist: contemporary furnishings in rich colours. The work of local artists is showcased here, giving the hotel a distinctive feel.
The 11 rooms vary in size and colour, from cosy and functional single rooms to almost palatial four-poster bed deluxe rooms, decorated in regal red. Even the more compact rooms feel uncluttered.
Full English breakfast or vegetarian alternatives are taken in a traditional and homely dining room - Radio 2 plays in the background.
With individually decorated, stylish rooms with iPod docks, this 4-star boutique guesthouse is just a minute’s walk from Brighton’s beach and famous pier. Guests can enjoy organic buffet breakfasts.
All of the uniquely furnished, modern rooms at Guest and the City provide luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets and duck and goose down duvets. Rooms also offer flat-screen TV/DVD players, while some feature scenic sea views, beautiful stained glass window, and private balconies.
Guest and the City’s buffet breakfast is served with organic, seasonal produce, including sausages wrapped in bacon, salmon, fruit, and cereal.
Situated in the heart of Kemptown, Brighton’s bustling centre is just 2 minutes’ walk from the guest house, and the oriental palace and gardens of The Royal Pavilion is only a 5-minute walk away.
