Rocco Forte Brown's Hotel - London

Sophistication and classic English style are the hallmarks of the legendary Brown's Hotel.

Following a £24 million restoration, Brown's has been restored to its rightful position as one of the most intimate and charming hotels in London. The interiors are contemporary and have a real sense of style, while retaining much of their original, quintessentially English elegance.

Set in the heart of Mayfair on Albemarle Street, Brown's is one of the most historic hotels as it was the first ever hotel to open in London in 1837. Brown's Hotel opened to provide 'genteel' accommodation for discerning people. Brown's has always had an air of exclusivity and refinement, which it has retained following its extensive refurbishment overseen by The Rocco Forte Collection's Director of Design, Olga Polizzi.

Composed of 11 Georgian town houses, all 117 bedrooms (including 29 luxurious suites) have been individually designed with a sophistication that has become the trademark of The Rocco Forte Collection, as has the warm and personal service.

The location of Brown's Hotel, on a peaceful 18th-century London street in the heart of Mayfair is unrivalled. The hotel is just minutes from the elegant designer stores of Bond Street, the art galleries of Cork Street and St James's, the vibrant theatres of the West End and the calm, open spaces of Green Park, not to mention the City and Knightsbridge, which are both a short taxi ride away.

For those staying at Brown's on business, the hotel is just a taxi ride away from the City and 20 minutes on the new Jubilee underground line to Canary Wharf.
