We are delighted to announce that Brown’s Hotel in London’s Mayfair reopened on 12th December 2005. The hotel has undergone a major refurbishment which has included a complete reorganisation of the rooms and bathrooms, making them larger and creating more suites. The new design has been developed in cooperation with our Director of Design, Olga Polizzi, and combines the hotel’s original wood panelling and gilt mirrors with mosaic floors, fresh colour schemes, natural materials and antique furnishings to create a more contemporary and comfortable look whilst maintaining the refined English charm for which the hotel is famous.

Brown's Hotel is the oldest five-star hotel in London, with a unique and charming history that dates to 1837. Since being purchased by Rocco Forte Hotels in July 2003, the hotel has undergone a complete renovation. Brown's interiors are the perfect blend of contemporary and traditional English style, incorporating all modern comforts, such as individually controlled air-conditioning, flat screen LCD televisions and broadband Internet connections. Located on a peaceful 18th century street in Mayfair, Brown's is just steps away from fashionable Bond Street, the West End theatres and the art galleries of Cork Street.

The Grill serves English Cuisine, while the wood-panelled English Tea Room continues to offer the city's finest * and most famous * afternoon tea. The cosy and intimate Terence Donavan Bar provides a welcoming sanctuary, with a real log fire in the winter months. 24-hour room service.

A brand-new fitness centre equipped with the latest cardiovascular machinery and treatment rooms for beauty therapies, both exclusively for hotel guests. Jogging tracks in nearby Green Park.
