The Ground Floor at No. 124 is the heart of the hotel, and is a new Brighton casual dining destination. Beautiful spaces flow into one another, from the Lounge to the Games Room, with every zone being home to comfy spaces to dine, relax and if you fancy it, work.
Adjacent to the Bar is the Terrace - open in the warmer months for Brighton outdoor dining. Heading the other way, you'll discover The Courtyard - a winter garden space perfect for perching in, and available for private hire too, perfect for events in Brighton. In fact, the whole Ground Floor can become the perfect Brighton event space and is available for private hire.
Throughout the Ground Floor, we serve our House Menu. On it, you'll find traditional comforts with a 124 twist, along with salads, oysters and much more. It's a perfect menu to graze from for lunch or to settle in with for supper. Indeed, it's perfect for the between bits too.
In the warmer months, our House Menu spills out onto the Terrace - which is complemented by our wood-fired pizza offering. If you're looking for Brighton sea view restaurants, our Terrace will not disappoint, with panoramic views.
Please note, we are a cashless restaurant and only take payments by card.

Thank you @elena_impieri for this sweet capture of you and your little one enjoying breakfast in bed at No. 42, Margate!
A guide to a GuestHouse stay - Spin those records
Crosley record players - one in every single room. Whether it`s something to break the silence or set the mood for a secret boogie behind the door, the music is what you make of it! We pop a couple of vinyls in your room to get you started but you`re always welcome to browse more in our libraries. We love a good tune and hope you`ll enjoy our music taste too 🎶

A guide to a GuestHouse stay - Luggage pick up
Ever noticed one of our cargo bikes at the hotels or around in the city or town? 👀 We’ve always said that a staycation begins the moment you step off the train and wouldn’t it be nice if you didn’t have a suitcase to drag or bags that weighed you down? So that’s where we step in! 🧳
For all guests who book a stay with us, we offer complimentary luggage pick-up to do just this. Tell us where you’re coming from and what time you’ll arrive at Bath Spa, York, Margate or Brighton station and we’ll be there to meet you. We’ll pop your bags into our GuestHouse bikes and drop them back off at the hotel, so you’re free to roam bag-free 🚲
Like the sound of exploring from the get-go?
Some moments from our wedding showcases we held a few weeks ago! 💍

No. 124 Brighton’s luxurious new Hideout Suite is here 👋🏻
Right on the seafront, guests can enter through two private entrances. You’ll sleep sweetly on our extra comfortable super-king bed and always have first pick with your very own personal pantry. There’s a separate lounge space which houses your record player, library of vinyls and books and a sofa that doubles up as an extra bed. There’s space for the little ones to play, furry friends to join along and grown-ups to put their feet up 💛
And we had to give a special mention to the exclusive Copper hot tub in the open-air courtyard. A rainforest drench shower, a gorgeous bath and a private hot tub - The Hideout Suite has it all.
Pretty suite right?! All yours and ready to be stayed in for your next seaside retreat now 🌊🐚
A guide to a GuestHouse stay - Coffee & Tea station
Let us introduce you to our doll`s houses and beach huts! Inside you`ll find your kettle, coffee and tea, ready for you to brew that morning wake-up call, mid-afternoon cosy cuppa or a pre-sleep wind-down. Are you team doll`s house or beach hut?! 💛
With us for Valentine`s or booked in for a later date? 💘
💌 There`s grand and then there`s Great Pulteney Street. And here`s where you`ll find our listed Georgian building hiding some of the dreamiest rooms you may have laid your eyes on. Step inside for dreamy sash windows, opulent chandeliers and romantic interiors. No.15 is one five star stay for sure!
🐚 For a secret city escape with spectacular sea views, No.124 is the one to fall for. Enjoy a taste of seaside nostalgia or cosy up in the comfort of your room. Come downstairs for an evening cocktail to celebrate the occasion
🫖 No.1 York is number one! Discover why we`re the best hotel in York, according to the Conde Nast Traveller Awards and also as voted by TripAdvisor, with your someone special. If you`re already booked in or want to add an extra touch to make the stay sweeter, Afternoon Tea in the Marmalade Lounge is sure to surprise and delight. Or there`s Afternoon Sea at @pearlycowyork for a savoury take on the traditional affair...
🌊 For something straight out of a movie, think romantic walks on the beach, a record player and vinyls, and a few treats from the pantry for movie time, No.42 is the perfect escape for two.
🫧 Whether you`re staying at the hotel or just looking to book in some time down in our Spas, you`re all welcome to book a treatment with us, solo or side-by-side.
