1 / 8Drakes Hotel
Brighton & Hove, Brighton and Hove
Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms.
A boutique hotel in two Regency townhouses on Brighton seafront, overlooking the pier, where a dog can sit with you at breakfast.
Drakes is a pair of Regency townhouses on Marine Parade, right on the Brighton seafront, overlooking the pier, and twenty bedrooms inside. Brighton itself, famed for its Victorian pier and extraordinary Royal Pavilion, has long drawn writers and artists. A dog friendly hotel for people who want the city and the sea at once: drop your bags and head out along the promenade with the dog.
Selected rooms are kept for guests travelling with dogs, which the hotel suggests checking in advance, and there is a charge for a dog friendly stay, added when you book or arranged with the team before you arrive. The hotel doesn't state how many dogs share a room.
Breakfast is the part that matters most with a dog: yours is welcome to join you in the breakfast room, which runs from half past seven on weekdays. The Cocktail Bar looks out at the sea and the pier and stays open all day, and Dilsk, the fine dining restaurant at the hotel, builds its menus around ethical growers and producers in and around East Sussex.
Many of the bedrooms face the sea and the sunset, and the Royal Pavilion and Sea Lanes swimming are five minutes away. Wildpack lists Brighton Beach 0.3 miles off; its page carries the dog rules, which are worth reading first.
