The Guardian "I love directing people to the small Artist Residence hotel...where I once had a mini staycation. It overlooks the sea on Regency Square and is full of vintage charm."
Independent "More boho club than boutique hotel, this heavenly 25-bedroom pad mixes dense Farrow & Ball colour notes and retro finds with hip commissioned artwork"
Independent "At the top end of Regency Square and facing the i360 observation tower and skeletal West Pier, Artist Residence is an impressively stylish 25-room boutique hotel"
Independent "On Regency Square, each of its 24 maximalist rooms/apartments are designed by artists with as much flair as you’d expect. It’s worth forking out a little extra for the larger rooms"
