Modelo Lounge — Lounge in Brighton And Hove

Modelo Lounge on Church Road in Hove is a contemporary beachfront lounge open daily from 9am. You can find it just outside the city, with huge windows that open onto sea views. The space feels like an extension of Brighton’s seaside rhythm, ideal if you're meeting friends by the beach or relaxing solo after shopping.

About The Venue

Modelo Lounge opened in 2020 as part of Hove’s evolving retail-dining scene on Church Road. The venue features contemporary design with massive front windows that stretch the full length of the building and open onto beachfront views, a defining trait shaping how guests experience it daily. Warm lighting, moderate noise levels, and a mix of modern and vintage touches like old photos create a laid-back yet elevated atmosphere. It’s step-free accessible, has toilets, power outlets, and is dog-friendly. Go to Modelo Lounge for weekday coffee breaks or weekend brunches; walk-ins are allowed for parties of six or fewer.
