Who We Are

The Square Townhouse was transformed in 2015 by a Local Family who invested substantially in restoring the Grade II-Listed Building, elevating it to a Five-Star Boutique Hotel.  In 2022, the Townhouse expanded into the neighbouring property, bringing new life and space to this intimate Brighton Retreat.

Inside, you will find a space where design is personal, not prescribed. Artworks are hand-picked, furnishings are considered, and the mood is unmistakably relaxed. Every detail has been thoughtfully chosen to make you feel at home while still being somewhere quite special.

As a small, Independent Hotel, our Team is at the heart of everything we do. Friendly and attentive, we are here to look after you from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave — with warmth, care, and just the right amount of detail.

Beautiful Brighton

Brighton is a City full of contrast, elegant and eccentric, with a rich past and a playful energy. Once a modest fishing village, it became a fashionable seaside destination during the Regency Era. Its blend of history and hedonism is still alive in its winding Lanes, vibrant nightlife, and proudly independent spirit.

Explore the grand architecture along the seafront, discover one-of-a-kind finds in the shops and galleries, or simply enjoy the fresh sea air and the city’s famously open-minded atmosphere. Whether you come for culture, food, or the coast, Brighton always finds a way to surprise you.

Prinny & His Brighton Palace

A visit to Brighton is incomplete without a visit to the Royal Pavilion — the city’s most iconic landmark. Built by King George IV, known affectionately as 'Prinny', it is a bold fusion of Indian, Chinese, and Regency styles, and a celebration of pleasure and escape.

During the Regency period, Brighton became a playground for high society — a place of giddy elopements, secret romances, and seaside glamour. The Pavilion remains a symbol of that spirit: decadent, theatrical, and undeniably unique, just like the city itself.
