The Square Townhouse

Brighton & Hove, Brighton and Hove

Yes. Dogs can stay in selected rooms, up to 2 dogs per room.

A Grade II listed townhouse hotel in Brighton, where two small dogs can share a room and bowls, towels, a blanket and a mat all come on loan.

The Square Townhouse is a Grade II listed building that a local family restored into a boutique hotel, moments from Brighton's seafront. The dog friendly hotel welcome comes with a size rule: well behaved dogs under 20kg, in selected rooms, with notice given so that everything is ready for your dog's arrival.

Two small dogs can share a room. The hotel provides washable bowls, doggy towels, a blanket and a protective mat, all on loan, and muddy paws belong to the towel provided. Beds and furniture are out of bounds, a dog in the room should be supervised, and dogs are never to be left unattended at any time, which suits one who comes out with you rather than one who waits in.

Breakfast is freshly brewed coffee, warm pastries and cooked-to-order classics with no rush attached, and later the intimate lounge bar mixes cocktails from premium spirits and fresh ingredients. The hotel does not state where a dog may sit at mealtimes, so raise it at booking.

Wellness and beauty treatments come to the guest, either in your room or in the hotel's pamper room, from massages to hair and makeup. The Hemsley Suite spans the entire lower ground floor with its own street entrance and a reading nook, while another penthouse has a private west-facing terrace with views over Brighton & Hove. A KAYAK Travel Award is among the hotel's recent recognition, and for the dog, Brighton Beach is 0.3 miles off and the nearest beach Wildpack lists as dog friendly, with the hotel glad to point you towards walking routes.
