True to its name, the property is indeed quite old, but in the historic sense – it dates back to 1559, with the charm (and occasional creak) to prove it.

Ideal location right on the Brighton seafront, a short stroll from The Lanes.

Glorious Grade II listed building with original historic deets (mirrors! ballroom!) and newly reno’d rooms.

Super-central spot means biggies like the Royal Pavilion and Brighton Pier are totally strollable.

Right on Brighton Beach!

Basic but cosy rooms get the job done.

Evocative wing-shaped canopy over main entrance boldly proclaims this place's airport hotel-ness.

Connected right to the airport, so you can go straight from bed to boarding (more or less).

Only 10 min from Gatwick, the shuttle bus will pick you up and drop you off for a small fee.

Practical digs with sweet perks like free WiFi, parking and breakfast.

Recently built, with mod rooms and a circular, smartly designed lobby.

Indoor pool, hot tub, steam room and sauna – we’re relaxed just thinking about it all!

Only 10 minutes from the airport, it's a great spot from which to explore Sussex, Surrey and Kent, as well as the South Coast.

An opulent country manor: gorgeous old brick façade, decadent dark wood paneling, shimmering chandeliers and richly upholstered furnishings.
