"A heritage hotel with a boutique vibe, London’s oldest hotel is a clever amalgamation of eleven townhouses that house pretty rooms, a darling spa and the famous English Tea Room."

As London’s oldest hotel, Brown’s Hotel has a legacy of excellence that dates back to 1837. Alexander Graham Bell made the UK’s first phone call from one of the guestrooms, and the likes of Agatha Christie, Theodore Roosevelt and Queen Elizabeth have all stayed within its elegant walls. Heritage hotel though it may be (even maintaining an in-house historian to keep records of its extraordinary past), Brown’s nevertheless feels wonderfully inviting. It encourages each guest to make themselves at home as scores of legends and luminaries have done before them.

The hotel has a distinct boutique feel to it; it comes as a surprise, then, that it has 115 rooms and suites. The air of exclusivity is owed to its clever collective of eleven townhouses, each of which is uniquely designed.

The hotel has a distinct boutique feel to it; it comes as a surprise, then, that it has 115 rooms and suites. The air of exclusivity is owed to its clever collective of eleven townhouses, each of which is uniquely designed. Within, rooms are calm and pretty, blending period elements with contemporary sensibilities. Choose from either views of the streets of Mayfair or the (comparably calmer) courtyard. The smallish windows in entry-level rooms leave something to be desired, but you’ll find bigger ones in Deluxe rooms and suites. The historical-themed Forte Suites are particularly enchanting and are where the hotel’s personality truly shines through. One such example is the grand (yet playful) Kipling Suite which honours Rudyard Kipling who, notoriously, wrote The Jungle Book whilst staying at the hotel.

The famed Drawing Room was a favourite afternoon tea spot of Queen Victoria’s. Perfectly dainty sandwiches and pastries complement an elegant dining room which is done up with rich wood panelling and gorgeous artwork. If you fancy something a bit stronger, you’ll want to head to The Donovan Bar, a slick and sophisticated spot for a fabulously inventive cocktail. For a proper meal, the restaurant Charlie’s is helmed by Chef Adam Byatt, who puts a contemporary spin on time-tested British classics in a cosy dining room brimming with antiques.

The hotel’s small spa has just three treatment rooms but is nevertheless lovely, and there’s a small 24-hour fitness centre nearby. If you’d prefer to get your cardio outdoors, you might consider taking one of the city running tours, which range from three to ten kilometres and are an excellent way to explore London. And there’s certainly plenty to explore; the hotel is steps away from the Royal Arcade, an easy 15-minute stroll to Buckingham Palace and – for those who wish to venture further – just a 5-minute walk from the Green Park tube station.
