Hotel for Brighton Marina

[Louis Balfour]

I may need to take the family to Brighton Marina imminently. We'll have the car.

We are looking for "nice" rather than budget.

Recommendations appreciated chaps please.

Stay on the boat...?

I'd have to buy the bugger first.

I am not sure, "I am really interested, but I need to spend a night on board with the family first" is going to wash.

So far I am thinking Malmaison or the Grand (just because I have fond memories of it).

[Louis Balfour]

OK, Malmaison released some more rooms and I am in there.

Now, where to eat? All the restaurants in the Marina appear to be chain burger / Italian / casual dining.

Is there anywhere nearby that is good and independent?

[Louis Balfour]

Thanks All. As mentioned, hotel now booked.

But I need a restaurant in the marina area. Ideally one that isn't a chain. Itaian / fish / bistro preferred.

Second the Ginger Dog if you want to walk somewhere.

The Marina is all horrible chains, and chavvy, don’t recommend any!

We have a ton of great restaurants in the town but would involve driving. Most NCPs offer an evening rate of £4.50 after 6pm though so if you’re up for driving I’m happy to give you a list of great places.

Had a look at the Ginger Dog but the menu didn’t inspire.

Have pencilled in Bella Napoli

We stayed at Malmaison and ate at Bella Napoli.

The hotel was very good and the restaurant superb. I was not expecting either to be as good as they were.
