<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/21888/chillipickle.jpg" class="top"> The ever-burgeoning London hotel scene may have most of our attention at the moment, but were far from immune to the charms of Brighton, especially with the news that one of our favorite fun hotels there, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Myhotel+Brighton/ian/269579">myhotel Brighton</a>, has just opened a restaurant devoted to one of our favorite foods: curry. Not just any restaurant, either - its the new site for The Chilli Pickle, which won the prize for most innovative restaurant at last years British Curry Awards, and received two AA rosettes and a Michelin BiB Gourmand thing too. The restaurant got all its plaudits (and <a href="http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g186273-d1420216-Reviews-The_Chilli_Pickle-Brighton_East_Sussex_England.html">rave TripAdvisor reviews</a>) in its old location in Meetings House Lane but its now upped sticks to

What we dont like is sharing the seaside with the thousands of others who like it too. Especially when everyones had the same idea to jump on a train in London and hit up the coast at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Brighton%20Hotel%20Reviews">Brighton</a>, as happens every time the sun comes out. To make things a little less messy, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Hotel%20du%20Vin%20Hotels">Hotel du Vin</a> down there is putting its Victorian beach hut up for rent. Its about two and a half miles from the hotel, on the beach at Hove rather than bang in Brighton (but then, theres not room for a bottle of sun tan lotion on the beach at

Brighton's Blanch House Gets Flickr Reviewed

Flickr member vanderwal gives one of those short, to the point, Flickr reviews where we learn just enough about a Brighton's Blanch House Hotel:

It was a great place to stay, if it had WiFi or even wired broadband it would have been perfect (Sidewinder's pub around the corner had wifi and decent menu). Blanch House has a killer bar.

Almost a tease, isn't it?

Tip: If you want to impress your significant other, and you two are open to middle of the room whirlpool baths, check into the Galaxy Room--a luxe room inspired by Galaxy Chocolate.

Well, maybe not Britney, but we can't help but think Rashid at least chuckled when he <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/2/12/134314/254/hotels/Britney_Spears_Yahoo_Try_Out_Sky_Villa_Rotating_Bed">read this</a>.

<![CDATA[<img align="right" src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3/punch_out.gif"> Page Six <a href="http://www.nypost.com/gossip/pagesix/66216.htm">reports</a> today that Mike Tyson is holed up at the <a href="http://www.hilton.co.uk/brightonmet">Hilton Metropole</a> in Brighton, England, and old-school seaside resort town. Apparently, Tyson was seen spiriting strippers and hookers--perhaps one tucked under each arm--up to his room on two consecutive nights. What could Mike see in a grand old dame hotel like the Metropole? Well, according to one reviewer, the hotel has "<a href="http://www.virtualtourist.com/hotels/Europe/United_Kingdom/England/East_Sussex/Brighton-316340/Hotels_and_Accommodations-Brighton-Hilton_Brighton_Metropole-BR-1.html">the largest bed I've seen in a Hilton</a>", which would certainly be conducive to holding a whole menagerie of loose women. Other than that, we're a little surprised Iron Mike stayed here, as this hotel does not seem to have much to recommend it.
