Historic Gothic Buildings

Hotel Du Vin & Bistro Brighton occupies a collection of eccentric gothic and mock Tudor buildings in The Lanes, the city's oldest area with cobbled alleyways housing antique shops and jewelers. The hotel contains 49 individually styled rooms and suites, some with original feature fireplaces and sea views.

Rooms with Signature Features

Accommodations include Cosy Rooms with queen beds and shower facilities, Classic Rooms with twin, queen, or king beds, and Deluxe Rooms featuring walk-in monsoon showers and free-standing roll-top baths. All rooms provide Egyptian cotton linen, plasma TVs, air conditioning, Nespresso machines, and underfloor heating. Sea View Suites include telescopes and twin roll-top baths.

French Bistro Dining

The bistro serves French home-style cooking with earthy dishes and slow-cooked foods using local seasonal ingredients. The space features white walls, eau de nil banquettes, marble-topped tables, and restored fireplaces. Breakfast operates 7am-10am Monday-Friday. The sommelier offers wine pairing recommendations from a list of over 400 wines.

Central Brighton Location

The hotel is situated in The Lanes, 1 km from Brighton seafront and 1 km from Brighton Station. London Gatwick Airport is 45 km away, approximately 45 minutes by car or 30 minutes by train. Nearby attractions include the Royal Pavilion (0.5 km), SEA LIFE Brighton (0.5 km), and British Airways i360 (1 km).

Meeting & Event Spaces

Six meeting rooms accommodate groups from 10 to 120 people, including The Dome with natural daylight and wineglass chandelier, and The Ridgeview Room named after local sparkling wine. Services include free Wi-Fi, audio-visual equipment, and day delegate packages from £45. Private dining options are available in unique spaces like the 1920s-inspired Ruinart room.

“This hotel's blend of Gothic and Tudor architecture sets a distinctive tone right in Brighton's historic Lanes. While some past guests have noted areas needing refurbishment, the central location, personalized dining experiences curated by the resident chef and sommelier and private event spaces still makes it a compelling choice. It's a property with character and pedigree.”

Nice stay at stylish spot

friendly staff comfortable bed roll top bath
The staff was friendly from arrival. They assisted with a lower floor room request. The room had beautiful decorations and comfortable bed. It was quiet too. I woke refreshed. The bathroom features a roll top bath, large shower, and L'Occitane products. I felt pampered.
The room does need some refresh. I noticed some stains on the carpet.
