WHY VISIT? A hop, skip and a jump away from the main railway station, MyHotel is located in the heart of the action in Brighton's trendy North Laines. The seaside sister to London's MyHotel Bloomsbury and MyHotel Chelsea, this brilliant-white building houses 80 rooms set over four floors, and is an ideal base for a chic stopover or a long weekend of sun, sea and style.
ROOMS WITH A VIEW - The creative vision of New York design guru Karim Rashid, MyHotel Brighton juxtaposes cutting-edge good looks with a hint of feng shui. Rashid's flair for the futuristic is immediately evident in the funky guestrooms, where bright-white curved walls are the perfect canvas for the hits of vibrant colour that epitomize his signature approach. We loved lounging on the white leather bed, complete with integrated sound system that lets you play your iPod through flush-mounted ceiling speakers, and positioned perfectly for viewing the suspended flatscreen.
STYLE STEAL - No space is too small for some statement ceramics. Take your cue from the compact en-suites, where freestanding basins by Agape Roto add real wow factor. Team with a glass shower screen in an acid-bright hue for real Rashid style.
DINING AND DRINKING - Grab a bite to eat in on the terrace at espresso café Cup, or take your time with a lazy lunch or dinner in Table, MyHotel's modern British restaurant. The jewel in the hotel's crown is its destination cocktail bar, Merkaba. Boasting sleek timber-panelled walls, a gold-leaf bar, ambient music and lighting, it's the ideal spot to enjoy a pre- or post-dinner cocktail from a menu designed by award-winning mixologists.
OUR VERDICT - Staying at MyHotel is the high-style way to relax, recharge and soak up some summer sun and sea-fresh air.
WEEKEND ESSENTIALS - Brighton is, of course, a Mecca for design buffs, lovers of vintage and art aficionados. Take a stroll round the Laines and discover a wealth of retro boutiques and contemporary design stores, such as The Lollipop Shoppe.
Foodies will be equally at home, particularly those partial to a spot of seafood. We love recently opened restaurant Fishy Fishy. The brainchild of our favourite TV presenter Dermot O'Leary and two close pals, it's already full to the gills, so book in advance.
