A London institution with a modern spirit, Brown’s Hotel in Mayfair is where history, elegance, and contemporary luxury intertwine. This iconic townhouse retreat, once frequented by literary legends and world leaders, now offers a refined residential experience in the heart of the city. Impeccable service, exquisitely designed rooms, and a location steps from Bond Street and Green Park make Brown’s a sanctuary for those who seek both heritage and modern sophistication.

The Rooms

A Home in Mayfair

I stayed in one of the luxury suites, and I can confidently say this is one of my favorite properties in London. The residential vibe is intentional—this is a place designed to be lived in, not just slept in. The hotel offers a variety of connecting room options, including Classic, Executive, Deluxe, and Junior Suites, making it a great choice for families or those who prefer extra space. While the heritage of the building is preserved, every room feels fresh and modern with plush furnishings, contemporary art, and thoughtful touches that elevate the experience. It’s the kind of place where you could picture yourself sipping tea by the window, writing the next great novel (just like Kipling did!), or sinking into a deep, luxurious bath after a day in the city.

Service & Location

A Five-Star Experience

Service at Brown’s is impeccable—the kind that is attentive without being intrusive, warm yet professional. Every detail feels considered, from the concierge’s expert recommendations to the personalized service throughout the stay. And the location? Unbeatable. Situated in Mayfair, you’re steps away from Bond Street, The Royal Academy, Green Park, and some of London’s best dining and shopping. Whether you’re in town for business, a cultural escape, or a luxury getaway, everything is at your fingertips.

Dining & Drinks

The Best of British Elegance

The hotel’s Donovan Bar and restaurant have been completely updated, and it shows. The bar is sleek, sophisticated, and known for its creative cocktails, while the restaurant offers elevated British cuisine with a modern twist. If you happen to visit during the Christmas season, you’re in for a treat—Brown’s Hotel offers one of the most quintessentially British holiday experiences in London. Think elegantly decorated spaces, festive afternoon teas, and a warm, inviting ambiance that makes the magic of London at Christmas feel even more special.

In my lovely industry, I am often referencing an ultimate all-inclusive excel workbook (I do love my excel - blame my time in inventory management!) that factors in traveler ratings from multiple sites to rank these resorts from the best of the best all the way down (After all – we are not planning to put our name on anything subpar.)
