London, 22 April, 2010: Acknowledging the service, location
and design of The Oriental in Brighton, international travel experts
Lonely Planet have issued a glowing review of this unique Brighton
boutique hotel. From its origins as the notorious "Brighton Belle"
nightclub, the hotel has long been considered as somewhat
characteristic of the Brighton scene, and the venue - owned and
frequented by locals - offers a true reflection of that certain
Brighton charm.
While The Oriental terms its style as "shabby chic luxury", the Lonely Planet
review describes it much more pragmatically as "an excellent choice" and "a
fantastic deal" indicating that the transformation from nightclub to renowned hotel
has been successfully achieved over a mere matter of years. Apart from representing
an unbeatable deal for weekend breaks, the hotel is an even more affordable option
midweek, as bookings from Sunday through to Thursday attract serious savings with a
range of discount offers available online.
Lonely Planet, one of the world's largest travel guidebook and digital media
publishers, writes that The Oriental combines Italian fittings with sleek modern
furnishings and antique-style pieces to create comfortable, tasteful and well-lit
rooms. The review covers elements as diverse as the stylishly modern rooms, prime
seafront location and the "very hip, cosy bar downstairs." The organic breakfast
also rates a special mention, and not only because it's mouth-watering and sourced
locally (or with fair trade products stocked where possible), with vegetarian and
vegan options available as well. Breakfast time at The Oriental can consist either
of a full Sussex cooked breakfast or muesli, fresh fruit and yoghurt.
To stand out amongst the crowd is especially a commendable feat in this British
seaside town, for when it comes to boutique hotels Brighton has somewhat of a unique reputation
for creativity and charm. The Oriental manages to expertly blend Brighton vibes with
unpretentious luxury, and really hits the mark with its relaxed attitude and
lifestyle hotel trimmings.
About The Oriental, Brighton: A boutique hotel that offers that extra special
something for its guests, The Oriental is a venue and attraction that has been
linked closely with Brighton's underground music scene over the years, and its time
as the "Brighton Belle" nightclub has made it synonymous with DJs of the likes of
Norman Cook and Boy George. The hotel project was originally the brainchild of one
of Brighton's more successful bar owners and entrepreneurs, and is one of the
premier boutique hotels in Brighton. The AA 4 * Highly Commended Grade
II* Listed venue is also catered for business travellers and is ideal for
accommodation close to the Brighton Conference centre or the site for a quarterly
business strategy meeting.
