Brighton's newest accommodation option, Regency Square Suites, is a game-changer for those seeking a blend of luxury and convenience. This collection of apartments offers a unique experience, catering to both girls' trips and family stays with its stylish interiors and thoughtful amenities. The suites are a delightful mix of contemporary design and local craftsmanship, featuring gentle beige, blue, and green color palettes, along with locally crafted lighting and cabinetry, and toiletries from The White Company. The self-catering nature of the stay adds a touch of independence, with fully equipped kitchens and some even boasting cocktail bars and books for creating exotic cocktails.
One of the standout features is the variety of configurations available. The basement apartment is a dream come true for bridal parties or families, with a makeup station and a glamorous dorm-style room setup. Suite Three, on the other hand, is a romantic haven with its grand bay window, soaring ceilings, and cozy bedroom. For families, the two-bedroom suites provide ample space and comfort.
The location is another strong suit. Situated directly opposite Brighton's iconic i360, the suites offer stunning views of the Big Blue and the ruins of West Pier. The city's pebbly beach and Hove's charming High Street are just a short stroll away, while the trendy cafes and boutiques of North Laine are within reach. However, the walk from the train station might be a minor inconvenience, as it takes a 15-minute journey through some less desirable parts of the city.
While there's no on-site restaurant, Regency Square Suites makes up for it by organizing deliveries from local eateries like Antipasto By The Sea. The brunch menu, featuring sesame bagels with smoked salmon and lemon granola, was a hit with our reviewer. The company also caters to various dietary preferences, offering afternoon teas, shellfish suppers, and more. Brighton's vibrant restaurant scene is just a stone's throw away, ensuring guests are spoiled for choice.
Sleep quality is a top priority, and the suites excel in this department. The Hypnos mattresses, soft pillows, and cozy duvets ensure a comfortable night's rest. The excellent shower with adjustable pressure options adds to the overall experience. However, light sleepers might be disturbed by the green lights above the beds, which are linked to alarms. Despite this, the soundproofing is impressive for a listed building in a bustling city, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
In terms of value, Regency Square Suites offers a competitive price point. While it may not be the cheapest option, it provides a level of luxury and convenience that is often associated with more expensive hotels. For special occasions, the suites feel indulgent, but it's worth noting that other accommodations in Brighton, like The Grand, might offer similar views at a lower cost during peak season. The two-night minimum stay policy is a consideration for those seeking shorter breaks.
Overall, Regency Square Suites is a fantastic choice for those seeking a blend of luxury, convenience, and a unique stay in Brighton. With its stylish interiors, thoughtful amenities, and prime location, it promises an unforgettable experience for girls' trips and family vacations alike.
