THE Charm Hotel in Brighton - which opened only last June - has been listed in a top new guide.

The boutique hotel is listed on Traveller’s 2017 Hot List, the insider’s guide to the newest, hottest hotels, restaurants, spas and nightclubs opened across the UK in the past year.

General manager Leo Nguyen said: “2016 was a momentous year and 2017 will be no less exciting.

“The Charm Hotel is extremely excited to be a part of this exclusive list.

“We take pride in the efforts we have made to transform the hotel into a luxury brand property and are honoured to be named among the select hotels from across the UK.

“This designation validates our commitment to create an inspired guest experience and fuels our vision to be recognized by our customers as the best in the business.”

To create the list, magazine editors anonymously checked out thousands of new properties around the UK, providing candid reviews and evaluating each one on location, service, design and value.

Mr Nguyen said: “The hotel and tourism industry outlook is looking quite promising for 2017 in Brighton, Sussex and the UK.

“In Brighton, also with the promotion of Brighton and Hove FC to the Premiership, means that rooms will be more in demand for the next season as many fans will take the opportunity of bringing their friends and family to the city.

“Market forecasts by global consultancy agencies are predicting continued growth which will allow the tourism and hospitality business in Brighton to drive up further top line and bottom line results.”
