Brown's Hotel

Brown's Hotel is a luxury 5-star hotel in London, England. It opened its doors in 1837 and thus is the oldest London hotel still in business. Since 3 July 2003 it has been owned by The Rocco Forte Collection and is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.

Brown's Hotel is set in the heart of Mayfair on Albemarle Street. It is located within walking distance of shopping streets such as Bond Street and Regent Street in addition to theatres, art galleries and central London landmarks. It also sits on the doorstep of Green Park and Hyde Park.

Interior

The Brown's Hotel is noted for its traditional English Victorian sophistication fused with a contemporary feel. The bedrooms are designed by Olga Polizzi and combine modern features with traditional furnishing and are all individually decorated. The standard rooms are 32 to 40 square metres in size with the suites being 50 to 95 square metres.

The hotel has several restaurants and bars including The Albemarle (formerly the Grill), an informal A La Carte restaurant which serves both English and continental cuisine, the Brown’s English Tea Room which has served afternoon tea and light snacks since the mid nineteenth century and the The Donovan Bar, which pays homage to the British photographer Helmut Newton with his iconic prints. The bar is furnished with wooden floors, black leather seating and dark country check banquettes. In one corner are pornographic photographs and a table for 12. The bar serves over sixty cocktails and thirty wines and champagnes.

The hotel also has 6 conference rooms, serving up to 120 people
