"My Hotels aim to be the antidote to bland, formal city stays. Rooms come with murals inspired by Asian art, orange accents or circular beds; communal spaces gleam with slabs of coloured glass and high-shine white floors and walls; and staff treat you like friends arriving for a house party. Situated at the heart of the North Laine area, the hotel is a stone’s throw from the city’s shops and main attractions, and its groovy cocktail bar gives you a taste of Brighton’s nightlife. For special occasions, splurge on the penthouse – a spectacular suite that is remarkably good value. Rather than its own restaurant, the Myhotel dining space is given over to a new branch of the Chilli Pickle, one of Brighton’s best-loved curry houses. " - Annabelle Thorpe
