About this property
Stunning Seafront Penthouse w/ Private Sun Terrace & Direct Panoramic Sea Views
This small, beautiful and unique penthouse apartment directly faces the sea at the very front of this iconic L-shaped Grade II* listed Modernist building, Being right at the top and front it enjoys stunning uninterrupted panoramic sea views from the living room, bedroom, and the 7.3 x 1.7m private sun terrace. Patio doors open onto the terrace from both the living room and bedroom enhancing the wonderful direct sea view.
Please note that while the apartment can sleep four with sofabed, it is ideal for a couple or two adults with up to two children and the sofabed is only suitable for children. We cannot accept bookings for three to four adults. The apartment is only suitable for children aged 4 years and older.
The penthouse is small but beautiful, furnished and equipped to a very high standard with everything you may need for your stay including high quality Egyptian cotton bedlinen and soft White Company towels. It has fast wi-fi and wall-mounted LCD televisions in both the living room and bedroom, and enjoys a beautiful bespoke Italian blue granite kitchen and a stunning designer bathroom with luxurious under-floor heating.
Embassy Court is a beautiful Grade II* listed 1930s Modernist building with a distinctive L-shape with apartments facing the seafront or the side road. Our apartment directly faces the seafront right at the top of the building so the views are uninterrupted and absolutely beautiful in all seasons. The stunning foyer with curved glass windows has a historic replica of the original 1935 mural by Edward McKnight Kauffer, famed for his London Underground posters of the 1930s.
The architect, Wells Coates (who also designed the Isokon building) created the top floor of apartments as the first ever purpose-built penthouses in the UK, so the apartment has a lovely architectural significance. Wells Coates's main priority for the apartment was pleasure and making the most of the panoramic view so the private sun terrace, windows and glass doors run the entire length of the apartment giving a beautiful light and sense of openness and space.
Please note that the bedroom is very small and has restricted access to the window side of the bed, but there is nothing better than lying in bed listening to the waves and having the uninterrupted sea views pouring through the windows and patio doors. You just need to sit up in bed to look out to sea!
The apartment is walking distance to central Brighton and Hove with all its coveted shops and restaurants, and the Pier and The Lanes are only a short stroll along the seafront. There are many fantastic amenities on our doorstep including one of the best rated restaurants in Brighton, The Gingerman. Waitrose, Sainsbury's and Taj supermarkets are just a few minutes walk, and Brighton and Hove stations are a few minutes by taxi. Gatwick Airport is thirty minutes by train, and London fifty five minutes by train. We are always available to you for tips, advice, and recommendations.
LIVING ROOM (4.2m x 3.2m) Directly facing the seafront with uninterrupted panoramic sea views running the entire length of the room, with doors opening onto the private sun terrace. Scandinavian wood floors, sofa seating for four (converts to small double sofabed, suits up to two young children but too small for adults), wall-mounted LCD TV, wi-fi, dining table and chairs for four, two wall-mounted electric radiators.
KITCHEN (2.6m x 1.9m) Fully fitted and very well equipped bespoke kitchen with bespoke real Italian blue granite surfaces and Siemens appliances (dishwasher, washer-dryer, fridge-freezer, microwave, convection hob and oven), plinth fan heating.

BEDROOM (2.7m x 2.5m) Directly facing the seafront, a small bedroom with enormous uninterrupted panoramic sea views along the length of the room with doors opening onto the private sun terrace. Comfortable standard 4ft 6in standard double bed (please note this may feel small to those used to a King size bed or bigger), wall-mounted LCD TV, small wardrobe, Scandinavian wood floors, glass electric radiator.
BATHROOM (2.4m x 2m) Beautiful bespoke Italian fully tiled bathroom with luxurious under-floor heating and deep bath with shower over.
SUN TERRACE (7.3m x 1.7m) Directly facing the seafront with stunning uninterrupted panoramic sea views, fully tiled large sun terrace that stretches the entire length of the apartment with designer planters from Chelsea Flower Show award winner Fernando Gonzalez, dining seating for four.

Stunning property and location. So special to be able to stay in historic and important building. Apartment very well equipped and comfortable. Very stylishly decorated. Thank you.
Wow, what a beautiful apartment with amazing views! Very close to restaurants, bars and the beach but quiet enough to get a good night sleep. The view is amazing, and the apartment very comfortable. My sister and I really enjoyed our stay and loved the balcony. Olivia was brilliant at communicating all the details and a lovely host. We will be back!
We were blessed with amazing weather during our stay. Brighton is a vibrant, busy location with lots to see and plenty to do which was right up our street.
We parked up in our parking spot arranged through Olivia at the back of Embassy court (additional cost- cheaper than other parking spots in Brighton) and there the car remained until the day we left.
Originally we were only supposed to stay 4 night but extending our stay by another 3 nights.
I was loved walking around taking in all the sights and all that is on offer.
We had many a lovely strolls along the beach front where we stopped and had a drink and fish and chips.
There are plenty of places to eat and drink with a variety of choices on offer.
The apartment is well equipped with a dishwasher, washer/dryer, iron, ironing board, clothes horse, vacuum cleaner, hair dryer and TV in the lounge and bedroom with access to Virgin TV and Netflix.
The apartment is beautifully laid out and both the bedroom and lounge has access to the balcony with the most amazing views of the sea and promenade .
The i360 is visible from the balcony as well as the bandstand where most nights you can watch couples dancing which was beautiful. My husband wanted us to join in but I had to remind him that neither one of us can dance!
It is also interesting to read up on history of Embassy Court.
This is a lovely place to stay and I highly recommend it. We will be returning
A unique spot with an incredible view of the sea, the stars, and soaring gulls at eye level! Stylishly appointed with colors matched to the many shades of the sea outside. Sized for a couple or single. Very comfortable bed, large bath, well equipped kitchen, quality linens and towels. Host was attentive and offered early check-in amd late check-out.

Great location
Wonderful apartment with great views of the beach and within walking distance to the beach, shopping, and sights.
The host has thoughtfully provided the things that you don't know you need, until you're there. The bed is very comfortable. There are plentiful pillows. The bed linens are top quality. The blackout curtains were very appreciated in the morning. The towels are fabulous. The fittings and decorations give a node to location and the era of the building. We had a really restful stay. The building was very quiet when we were there. The views, of course, are to die for, but the location is the best part. Nothing is more than 30 minutes walk away, in any direction.
Awesome views and balcony turns this tidy little flat into a fabulous place for a couple to enjoy Brighton. Communication was brilllant. Very recommended.
This was the second time we have stayed at this property and it was as good as the first, and definitely will not be the last. The apartment is spotless, the location is just perfect, the view stunning and Olivia is a lovely host. Very much looking forward to returning in the Spring.

Cozy and clean, gorgeous views
Adorable, cozy flat with great views of the sea. Excellent communication with the owner leading up to our stay. A really convenient location for exploring both Brighton and Hove, each of which have their own charms. Hope to return again one day.
A lovely apartment with stunning views. The balcony was an added bonus. The tiny bedroom was a challenge and storage is limited (suitcases etc) but the view made up for it.
Wonderful views in a stunning flat. Worth paying for parking though a tight space to get into. Our second visit as great as the first!

We stayed at this apartment for a week and we had a wonderful holiday. The place is tastefully decorated and was very clean. Olivia was very helpful and was always quick to reply if we had any queries. Overall a smooth experience. Will definitely stay there again.
Lovely bijoux apartment in ideal location just a walk along the prom to the town. Local restaurants around the apartment if you didn’t wNt to walk too far. Balcony a real plus.

Amazing property!
We had an amazing time in Brighton as always.
This apartment is in an amazing location with outstanding sea views. We had all types of weather including a large windy rainstorm and hot sunshine- such is a British holiday - and the apartment was excellent and cosy through-out. It is in a great location and we would heartily recommend it.
Very stylish apartment with great location and views. Only downside was bed bit small for us (both fairly tall). Olivia was excellent to deal with and checked everything was ok for us shortly after our arrival.
