Legends Hotel

Description:

• Hands-down, this is the largest, busiest, and most fun gay hotel in Brighton. First, it's a bona fide hotel, not a B&B as most of Brighton's other gay-friendly lodgings are. Unlike many of its competitors, it welcomes women, though very few of them tend to be comfortable. Because of the high jinks and raucousness that can float up from the bars below, rooms can be noisy but are nonetheless comfortable, clean, and unfrilly. All units have well-kept bathrooms with shower units. In addition to these rooms, the few luxury boutique doubles are more spacious and furnished more stylishly, with upgraded bathrooms. The staff is happy to camp it up for you before your arrival (adding balloons, champagne, flowers, and streamers), for a fee.
