The Amsterdam is located directly on the seafront opposite the Brighton Palace Pier, on the western edge of Kemptown. Inside the house, you'll find the Centre Stage Bar with regular cabaret and drag shows, and the vibrant Gay Village around St James's Street is just steps away.
Hudsons is a charming, gay-owned guest house located on a quiet Regency street in the heart of Kemptown. You'll be just a few minutes from the sea and the bars and clubs of St James's Street, and you can relax in the pretty garden area after a stroll through the city.
Legends is Brighton's only gay-only hotel and is located just off Marine Parade by the sea, above the famous Legends Bar and Club. You live here in the middle of Kemptown's gay village and have the scene around St James's Street and the seafront right on your doorstep.
Gay hotels in Brighton are most conveniently located in Kemptown, the queer neighbourhood around St James's Street. If you live here, you have the bars, the sea and the Palace Pier right on your doorstep and save yourself long distances after a night of partying. On the Marine Parade, several houses have been aimed specifically at gay guests for years and are located directly on the seafront, some with sea views. Well-known addresses in this location include the Legends Hotel with its own bar and club in the house and the Amsterdam Hotel opposite the pier.
But you don't have to commit to the trendy district. Brighton is very open overall, and in almost every central accommodation no one looks funny when two men book a double room. If you prefer sightseeing and peace and quiet, you are also in good hands closer to the Royal Pavilion or in the North Laine area and still reach Kemptown on foot. When choosing a location, it is worth considering in advance what is in the foreground: short distances to the clubs or sleep away from the hustle and bustle. The time of travel is also decisive. For Brighton & Hove Pride at the beginning of August 2026, you should book very early, as the central houses are then fully booked well in advance and prices rise significantly. The following selection shows you which location suits your stay.
