Check into Drakes Hotel right on the seafront this is to become your home from home and what a home it is, we love Drakes because:

  • The front facing designer rooms have wonderful sea views

  • The sea facing Drakes Bar – think black granite stylish interiors with views of the sea – perfect for a sundowner
  • The stunning Restaurant at the Drakes is on site, so you don’t have to go far for delicious dishes. 

After unpacking and unwinding you’re ready to head out for dinner (After a little aperitif in the bar first of course 😉)

Head to 64 degrees tonight, receiving accolade after accolade, this is one of Brighton’s go to culinary hotspots. Seated at the pass, guests can interact with the chefs as they prepare, plate and serve dishes to eagerly expectant and an eclectic mix of diners.
