The Vibe: Seriously Sexy.

The Area: On Regency Square and offering side views of the sea from front rooms, you’re right in the heart of things here, but inland enough from the seafront to banish extraneous noise.

The DNA: The owner and her architect husband have devoted time and passion making Hotel Una highly individual: eye-catching contemporary art work, one-off craft-designed furniture, lots of solid wood detailing including stripped floorboards, spindly pendant lights, arty driftwood, unusual sculptures – and there’s oodles of on-trend style too. The bar serves an extensive range of cocktails, whiskeys, cognacs, gins, cognacs and champagnes. Plenty of bars, restaurants and shops are found right at the doorstep.

Suite-Me-Up: Superior sea view doubles are particularly lovely, gorgeous, featuring light-toned designer leather sofas, raised platform beds and ultra-modern bathrooms.
