Find stays near AMEX Stadium on the map ↓The AMEX is at Falmer, on Village Way, rather than on Brighton seafront. That makes an overnight football trip a deliberate two-part break: travel out for the match, then return to the coast for the hotel and the following day. Kings Road offers a larger seafront hotel, while Regency Square supplies a smaller townhouse setting. Neither of these researched choices is a Falmer stadium hotel, and the return transport deserves as much attention as the room view.
FIND YOUR BASE
Kings Road makes the coast the centre of the overnight stay, with the football a separate journey to Falmer.
Good for: A seafront hotel break around the match.
Before you choose: Sea-view categories must be selected explicitly; leave room for the full stadium return and queues.
Regency Square gives a smaller townhouse version of Brighton, with the seafront nearby and varied room layouts.
Good for: A longer seaside visit with characterful accommodation.
Before you choose: The building has entrance steps and some lively lower-ground rooms; check access and noise needs, then plan the Falmer journey.

ROOM FOR YOUR NEXT TRIP
Two researched addresses show the base choices in practice. Compare the return journey as well as the room before booking.
Kings Road matches the larger seafront hotel choice, with a separate trip to Falmer. Reserve a named sea-view category if the outlook matters.
Before you book: Confirm the view and balcony arrangement for your exact category, plus parking and access. Do not interpret every balcony as private or every room as sea-facing.
Visit official website97-99 Kings Road, Brighton, BN1 2FW
A seafront hotel for visitors who want a larger hotel format and an explicitly selected sea outlook. Inland rooms remain a distinct choice in the same building.

Regency Square supplies the townhouse alternative. Check the entrance steps and potential Below Deck noise before choosing the room for the match weekend.
Before you book: Below Deck rooms sit beneath the bar and may be noisy. Confirm cot suitability, room access and meal plans; lunch and dinner are not currently served.
Visit official website33 Regency Square, Brighton, BN1 2GG

FAMILY BREAKS
Brighton Museum and Art Gallery in Pavilion Gardens provides an indoor contrast to the match and coast. It normally closes on Mondays except bank holidays and requires admission, so check the day before making it your family extension.
ROMANTIC BREAKS
Use American Express Stadium, Village Way, Brighton BN1 9BL for the venue search. A Brighton hotel listing can be several parts of the city away from the ground.
A LITTLE ROOM TO EXPLORE
Arrive at the seafront, travel out to Falmer for football, then return to Pavilion Gardens for a separate museum visit.
Leave luggage and check the ticket's travel-zone conditions before choosing the route to Falmer.
Use the current numbered entrance and allow time for rail or bus queues on the return to Brighton.
Visit Pavilion Gardens on an open day for art, archaeology and local collections before collecting bags.
Less time? For a short football night, keep the AMEX and seafront stay; replace the museum with a brief coastal pause if Monday closure or an early train limits the day.
BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
No. The club's 2026/27 Premier League scheme covers specified buses and trains within its published travel zone. A journey starting outside the zone needs the appropriate additional ticket. The scheme may not apply to cup or friendly fixtures, and should not be assumed for tours or concerts.
No. The club specifies a window around the match, currently three and a half hours before kick-off and after the final whistle, with the journey starting within that window. Check the current terms for the fixture.
The club describes step-free access to each platform through side gates, with a step-free route between platforms and ramps for boarding trains. Arrange rail assistance for your needs before travelling and allow for match-day queues.
The club has replaced its old letter-based entrance labels with numbers. Use the entrance printed on your current ticket rather than relying on an old photograph or previous visit.
The club directs larger bags and motorcycle helmets to a paid bag-drop facility at the South East entrance. Check its current conditions and capacity; leaving overnight luggage at the hotel is the simpler plan.
