Private room ā¢ Brighton and Hove
I have always said that Brighton earns its reputation every single time you arrive - the city just works for LGBTQ+ travelers in a way that is immediately apparent. The Kemptown gay village has been active for decades and the misterb&b gay community rates the city consistently at the top of UK destinations. The three gay hotels in Brighton that our community books most are Legends Hotel - a 100% gay property in Kemptown, right in the gay village - Amsterdam Hotel Brighton Seafront, and a&o Brighton Beach. All three are well-positioned for the gay scene and the seafront. Brighton Pride in August is one of the UK's biggest and requires early booking - often months ahead. For the best local knowledge, booking through misterb&b is always recommended. 🏳️🌈
