Browns Hotel, London W1
Brown's is famous for its English traditionalness, with top quality furnishings in a country house style. Set in the heart of Mayfair, Brown's is one of the most historic hotels in London. Founded in 1837 to provide 'genteel' accommodation for discerning people, Brown's has always had an air of exclusivity and refinement, which it is sure to retain after its refurbishment.
Composed of 11 Georgian town houses, all 117 bedrooms (including 12 suites) have been individually designed with a sophistication that has become the trademark of a Rocco Forte hotel, as has the warm and personal service.
The bedroomsare particularly large for a Mayfair address. The oldest hotel restaurant in London serves a contemporary menu. Also known for its afternoon teas.
All of the air-conditioned rooms have dual-line phones, voice messaging, broadband Internet connections and digital flat-screen LCD televisions with interactive video on demand, minibar and safe. The style of the rooms is contemporary, with natural materials used throughout and antique pieces providing traditional accents. A selection of books and original English paintings will make each room unique and provide a welcoming, homely touch.
Mansard rooms on the hotel's top floor feature timber floors, long banquettes at the windows and photos of well-known English politicians and writers who have a connection with the hotel.
