Fodor's "It's easy to miss the low-key sign for this elegant, modern hotel tucked away amid the frilly houses on Marine Parade; it's worth the trouble, because everything is cool, calm, and sleekly designed." Full review
Travel + Leisure "In the middle of a grand sweep of wedding cake–style buildings known as the Regency Mile, the discreet sign for Drakes is easy to miss." Full review

The Telegraph8.0
"This fabulous boutique hotel spans two late Georgian townhouses and has a great location almost opposite the pier and Brighton Wheel." Full review
Independent "An award-winning restaurant, Poirot-perfect art deco-styled bedrooms, roll-top baths and peerless sea views – what’s not to like about Drakes? This glamorous 20-bedroom establishment, set in a double-fronted Georgian property just minutes from the pier, is easily one of the sexiest boutique hotels offered by the city"
Independent "Stylish, seriously sexy and a firm favourite with Kylie Minogue and Cate Blanchett, Drakes is a gem of a boutique hotel and its basement restaurant serves top-notch modern British cuisine"
Independent "Think oodles of style in porthole windows, curvy cornicing, rolltop tubs set beneath floor to ceiling windows, mid-century furniture and fabulously indulgent beds in all 20 bedrooms. "
Michelin Guide "The rooms are decadently furnished, many of them with freestanding bathtubs, and a few at the top of the range are known to be favorites of celebrity guests. Cocktail bar is a suitably swanky venue" Full review

Frommer's "Hands-down, this is the largest, busiest, and most fun gay hotel in Brighton." Full review
Rough Guide "Large, buzzing, gay hotel on the seafront, with a late bar for residents and their guests, and regular cabaret nights. Rates increase by around £10 at the weekend. £75."
OysterMid-Range
"Calling itself 'the UK's finest gay hotel', the mid-range Legends Hotel is certainly geared towards the LGBT community, though it's not immediately obvious." Full review
