City accommodation
Oh we Brits do love to be beside the seaside. Thankfully, there’s plenty of hotel space to accommodate us. Whether you’re looking to mix and mingle with your fellow brothers and sisters or if you prefer a boutique beauty, there are plenty of options suitable for every wallet size.
If the scene is your target, check yourself into any of the gay-specific properties near Marine Parade. For a spot of style, head straight for the Hotel Pelirocco. The individually designed interiors and ‘so hip it hurts’ crowd have been profiled so many times in the media that they could probably wallpaper their rooms in the newspaper clippings.
