Brown’s Hotel, a Rocco Forte Hotel, stands as a venerable institution in London and can trace its roots back to 1837, making it the oldest hotel in the city. While it boasts a rich history peppered with illustrious guests like Queen Victoria and President Theodore Roosevelt, it’s excellent amenities and 5* service means it has remained one of the city’s finest properties. Set across 11 historic townhouses in Mayfair, Brown’s exudes the charm of a boutique hotel while delivering the luxury amenities expected from the Rocco Forte group. Each of its 115 rooms and suites is a unique retreat, featuring spacious marble bathrooms, plush furnishings, and modern technology seamlessly integrated into period design.
The hotel’s tranquil spa offers indulgent treatments using natural Sicilian botanical products from Irene Forte, much needed after a day of shopping in the boutiques of Mayfair. The 24-hour fitness centre may be needed once you’ve explored the tempting dining options, from seasonal British cuisine with a dash of theatre at Charlie’s to traditional afternoon tea in The Drawing Room or innovative cocktails in the glamorous surroundings of Donovan Bar.
