Until the 18th Century, Brighton was a quiet fishing town, much as it had been 700 years earlier when it appeared in the Domesday Book as Brighthelmstone. Everything changed in 1750, when Dr Richard Russell promoted the health benefits of his Brighton sea-water cure: the Prince of Wales (later George IV) became a convert, fashionable London society followed, and the rest, as they say, is history.

These days, Brighton is famously relaxed and easy-going. Which is very much the atmosphere you’ll find at Thistle Brighton. Literally a stone’s-throw from the beach (we do these things so you don’t have to) and a short stroll from the Pier, it’s the ideal base for a weekend break, or a full-on seaside holiday. And if you don’t fancy ‘taking the waters’ in the Regency sense, the many comforts of our Otium Health & Leisure Club include an indoor swimming pool.

Just round the corner is The Lanes, a labyrinth of narrow streets crammed with boutiques, antique shops, bars and restaurants. And with the exotic Royal Pavilion, and some of the south’s best shopping, theatre and entertainment all within walking distance, Thistle Brighton puts you right at the heart of this diverse and vibrant city.
