Legends Hotel

About this place Legends Hotel

Legends occupies a prime position on Marine Parade — the Kemptown seafront, with unobstructed views of the English Channel from the terrace — and is Brighton's most established explicitly gay hotel. The ground floor Legends Bar and cabaret venue is a Kemptown institution in its own right: regular drag shows, themed nights, a terrace that fills on sunny afternoons, and a cabaret programme that represents the best of Brighton's extraordinary drag and performance scene. The hotel rooms are above the bar and share the seafront position; the superior rooms have sea views. Legends is the accommodation choice for visitors who want to be at the centre of the Kemptown community rather than adjacent to it — the bar is downstairs, Revenge is two doors away, and St James's Street starts at the junction. Brighton Pride weekend makes it the most sought-after address in the city. Three-star rating but the location and community identity make it the most valuable accommodation in Brighton for LGBTQ+ visitors.
