I have not had the pleasure of staying at this hotel but from what I have seen and heard, I might…read morehave to start saving and treat the misses to a nice romantic weekend. The quality of this hotel is brilliant and the pictures do not do it that much justice in my opinion. With great packages for weddings and civil ceremonies and great room for conferences suitable for upto 100 people, there is always plenty going on. Room prices start from £80 for a single room so it is not going to be cheap but well worth it in my opinion alone. Anyway, if you are looking to impress people then you are going to have to spend a little bit.

The Claremont provides a very elegant and professional venue for business meetings and small…read moreconferences. The function rooms are light and airy, with contemporary furnishings and a large bay window, and it is pleasantly quiet and easy to park in this area of Hove. At a recent informal meeting, twelve of us were comfortably seated with plenty of room, and served snacks and drinks by very polite and friendly staff. There is also a secluded garden behind the hotel, which, I am told, looks beautiful in the summer months. Although only a guest for a couple of hours, I was very impressed by The Claremont, and would certainly recommend their services to other businesses.

I had afternoon tea here with a pretty big group of friends. It was classic and I liked that it…read morewas definitely nice but not extremely fancy. The tea was good and so were the treats. My friends and I drank quite a bit of tea, and definitely ate pretty much all of the food. The building/ house is really pretty both on the outside and the inside. It's also cool because it is within Stanmer Park. It is fairly secluded, in a good way, but not too far from things at all. The best thing about this place is that it's so pretty and peaceful.

Stanmer House was built in 1720 for the first Earl of Chichester, Thomas Pelham by the architect…read moreNicholas Dubois. It's a quintessential English country house, built in a restrained classical style, and set in 5,000 acres of parkland - also landscaped in the classical English style. The House itself incorporated part of the house of the previous owners of the estate, the Michelborne family, who were connected with the manor (then called Audwick) as early as 1594. The new house was in the restrained Classical style so popular for English country houses, with little adornment. A later extension to the right wing has spoiled the symmetry somewhat, but the ensemble is still handsome enough. Although most of the contents were dispersed when the House was sold to the Council, the ground floor interiors of this Grade 1 listed building are reasonably well preserved and tastefully decorated, and worth a look - the main function rooms of the house are open to visitors for free when not in use. Among other things, they contain a midly diverting collection of old photographs, but most of the original contents have long since gone - however, the modern furnishings fit in well enough in a 'Country House Hotel' sort of way. The grounds are now owned by Brighton City Council as Stanmer Park (see separate entry), but the house has been retained as a conference and events venue, and specialises in special dinners, weddings and similar events. The venue is licensed for Civil Ceremonies. I have only visited the house as a tourist so can't comment first hand on service etc. or as a conference or event venue. But it has a good reputation locally, albeit at a price: wedding packages here start around £140 per guest (up to 140 with a marquee), but it'd be a pretty memorable!

Hotel Pelirocco is a fantastic choice for a unique stay while in Brighton…read more Close to the ocean & Brighton Pier, it's also w/in walking distance to The Lanes (shopping / music venues) The neighborhood is quiet and hopping at the same time. Lots of people out & about & the downstairs bar was packed but up in my room, it was nice & quiet I scored the Pressure Sounds room w/ its Reggae theme. Turns out the phone in the room just so happened to be exact phone Sis had while we were growing up....awww, nostalgia! Bed was on a springy frame which made it almost like staying at camp - but it was comfy nonetheless. Wicker chair in the corner, gaming console w/ the tv & great smelly bath products Staff is super-friendly & the downstairs bar is cozy-cool. Would def stay here again!

When the singer of Scizzor Sisters was interviewed on the radio recently, he triumphantly announced…read morethat he'd got laid at Hotel Pelirocco last time he played Brighton. A regency guest-house two minutes from the sea-front, Hotel Pelirocco is easily Brighton's coolest and most distinctive hotel. Every room is individually themed and decorated by artists, designers or hip record labels like Rough Trade and Skint. I've stayed in the Absolut Love room (which was all red velvet curtains and a heart-shaped bed), the Hysteric Glamour room (which was all provocative neon and black bedding) and the Leah Bowery room (which was a shrine to the cult performance artist). All of them were great and I'd happily go back and stay in the Pressure Sounds room (Lee Scratch Perry wallpaper apparently!), the Muhammed Ali rom (with boxing ring paint) and the Betty Page Boudoir - if only I had the bling or a free invite... The bar is terrific and serves cooool cocktails til 1am Sun to Thurs and til 4am at weekends. The only disappointing thing is some of the rooms are sponsored by corporate companies and so there's product placements dotted everywhere around the hotel. I don't mind seeing Absolut bottles upcycled into chandeliers but Smint mints...

You and your friends are relaxing on…read morethe deck of a historic Tall ship while staff rush to prepare your food in the fully restored area below the deck. Sea gulls call and for a moment, you forget that you are at a work event and it's just you and the gentle bobbing of water under the deck at your feet. If you are looking for that absolutely unique event that people will be talking about for months, give TopSail Events a call. For corporate events, weddings or just a great social outing, book a cruise on a tall ship or river barge down the River Thames. Topsail handles it all for you. In fact- you can even go clay pigeon shooting on the Thames (who knew?). The food is top notch- appetizers served by friendly servers (they must love their jobs being outside on the water all day) and the desserts? Heavenly. The ship that I was on was a fully restored tall ship and you can bet that it was an unforgettable experience when the Tower Bridge had to open to let our ship sail under. Tourists on other boats and on the bridges took pictures of us as we sipped our champagne and nibbled on our tasty bites. Below deck is a full galley and a large room that can be furnished with tables if you are having a dinner, or sofas and conversation areas if it is cocktails only. There are also restrooms on board which are as nice as any I've seen. The cruise goes down river to Greenwich passing the Canary Wharf and other points of interest and then turns around with the finale being the opening of the Tower Bridge to let the ship through. TopSail events will work with your organization to make your night out the perfect experience but check out their website as they already have some great suggested packages set up. I've been to London many times . . . but never have I had the experience of taking a Tall Ship down the river with a glass of champagne in my hand. Truly a once in a lifetime event!
