- SSermin31/01/2025Our perfect day!Our perfect day!For us there was no other contender. Fabrica is right in the centre of Brighton and is completely private unlike many hotels. It is an empty space which means you can create your perfect look. The team are incredibly helpful at giving you various companies to check out and we were able to tailor everything to fit us. Also the space is so beautiful that if you were on a tighter budget, you could get away with minimal décor because of the building's natural character. For us there was no other contender.
