Brown's Hotel is in arguably one of the most enviable locations in London, situated in the heart of elegant Mayfair, giving you the chance to enjoy beautiful surroundings as well as exemplary access to everything the city has to offer.
The hotel itself has a history of hospitality. Over the years the five-star destination, which opened in 1837, has been the retreat of choice for royalty, presidents and literary greats, offering escapism and exclusivity in equal measure. Inviting rooms and luxurious suites offer exceptional comfort and style, marrying heritage features with contemporary touches, while a warm welcome makes you feel instantly at home.
With exemplary surroundings it stands to reason that exemplary dining experiences would follow. The main restaurant is Charlie's (named after their patriarch and patron diner, Lord Charles Forte), where you can sink into velvet chairs and tuck into a menu by Michelin-starred Adam Byatt. There's the Donovan Bar for cocktails, while tea is taken in The Drawing Room - apparently Queen Victoria liked to have hers there as well.
Rocco Forte Wellness at Brown's Hotel brings an extra dimension to the luxury experience. A subterranean sanctuary, it's all about pampering. There is no pool - instead, fitness centres around a 24-hour gym. Meanwhile, the spa area sings with the scent of Sicilian botanicals - picked from Verdura’s Organic Farm. It's a delicious fusion of urban sophistication and natural wellbeing.
Completing the experiences, there are three therapy rooms, where practitioners harness 35 years of skincare research and development in Irene Forte Skincare treatments. They also use products from Made for Life Organics, hand blended in Cornwall from 100% organic herbs and flowers.
