Bohemian Brighton is artfully encapsulated in this Regency townhouse with its cool vibe, quirky furnishings and neighbourhood café-bar. In a seaward-facing square, with sea views but without the seafront traffic, it's the original hotel of Justin and Charlotte Salisbury's small collection of Artist Residences (see index). The café-bar and lounge boast G-plan furnishings, timber floors, industrial lighting and limited-edition artwork. Here you can laze over coffee and brunch – perhaps eggs Florentine or toasted sourdough with smoked salmon and avocado – G&Ts or a Peroni. Bedrooms of stripped-wood floors, pale-grey walls, often a bare-brick feature, are furnished with retro and reclaimed pieces; perhaps tea chests turned into bedside tables and vintage Anglepoise lamps. Most showcase work – including huge murals and framed pop art – by local artists. Smaller rooms are snug, and bathrooms can be compact; the largest rooms have freestanding baths. All have Roberts radios, espresso machines and organic toiletries; several have sea-view balconies. Come evening, try a cocktail from the basement 'secret' bar.
