“The Southern Belle feels steeped in Brighton's history, but refreshed with a modern sensibility. I imagine lingering evenings downstairs, sampling local ales by the fire, before retreating to a surprisingly luxurious room. Its location near the seafront promises both bustle and bracing sea air, a fine combination for a short break.”
