History

Red Brighton Blue is located in a grade 2 listed building, built at the height of the Georgian era, around 1830 and has many original features, such as high ceilings, large windows, fireplaces, skirtings and coving. Originally a private family residence, it has been a guest house for at least the last 60 years, with names such as Chester Court, Brighton Pavilions and now, following a complete renovation in 2016, Red Brighton Blue. The history of Brighton is that of an ancient fishing village called Brighthelmston, which emerged as a health resort in the 18th century, seaside home of the Royals in the 19th century and grew into one of the largest towns in England by the 20th century, achieving city status in 2000 as part of the Millennium celebrations.

ON BRIGHTON. Published in The Brighton Herald, August 15, 1818

HAIL, favour'd spot, divine retreat! Sweet refuge from Sol's scorching heat! Here harmless pleasure holds her sway, Each face we meet as bright as day, No gloom, all joyous as the morn, When Sol's first rays the sky adorn. Thrice happy spot, long may'st thou give, To be a town superb and great, With beauty rare they sense unite, But in each look true sweetness dwells, And throws around its magic spells, Blest place at once in thee we view, All fancy's pencil ever drew - Extracts from a poem by Mrs R Beverley, 19th Century Comedian

Garden

Sit out, relax and get breath of fresh air in our pretty courtyard garden with its lush green planting, flowers, benches and playful water features.  Perfect for smokers and non-smokers alike.  It's open 24 hours a day and even gently illuminated each evening.

Services We Offer

Parking - We Can Help

Please don't worry about parking in Brighton, we will do everything we can to help. Like the majority of hotels in Brighton, we don't have our own car park. We do sell parking vouchers however, enabling hotel guests to park in the residents bays on the streets around the hotel, which cost £12 per 24 hours. When you arrive, unless you find a space in our street, please stop right outside the hotel to unload and check in, and we'll then personally help you find a space as close as possible, so you should be no more than 2, 3 or 4 minutes walk away.

Celebrating Diversity

You are welcome with us.  To our guests, staff, suppliers and neighbours, we say you are welcome with us.  No matter who you are, what you look like, who you love, how much money you have, what your religious beliefs are, how old or young you are lucky enough to be or where you are from, Red Brighton Blue is for you.

Like many, we at Red Brighton Blue are concerned about the divisive, hateful speech and actions we hear and see across our country and the world.  Whilst these feelings are not new for many, we recognise that this is a crucial time to take a stand for what we believe is right.  It is important that we do not become complacent in our mission to offer clean, well run, high quality accommodation in Brighton which is truly welcoming to all, and which celebrates the diversity of our communities.

Red Brighton Blue is committed to continuing efforts to maintain and further improve how we look after all our guests.  If you have any suggestions for how we can make our welcome better, then please send us an email with your thoughts.  Thank you.

 

Our Environmental & Social Working Commitment

We're committed to providing excellent accommodation and services to guests, whilst minimising our impact on the environment and also behaving as a socially responsible neighbour and employer.  Here are some of the ways we do that.

We sort & recycle all waste from the hotel & guest bedrooms.  We have energy efficient lighting throughout the hotel and water saving technology in our bathrooms.

Being on the sunny south coast, we have invested in solar power technology and generate as much of our own energy as possible and contribute any excess back to the national grid.

We treat our staff fairly, trying our best to create a great place to work and a good team spirit.  We pay the Brighton Living Wage which helps ensure staff are fairly rewarded for the work they do.
