About Browns Hotel
Browns Hotel holds the distinction of being London's first hotel, opening in 1837 in a row of Mayfair townhouses by a former butler to Lord Byron. Since then it has served as a home-away-from-home for Agatha Christie, Theodore Roosevelt, and Rudyard Kipling — who wrote The Jungle Book in Room 36. Today, Rocco Forte Hotels have brought Browns to a new peak: intimate and warm in the way only a true townhouse hotel can be, but equipped with everything a contemporary guest demands. The English Tea Room at Browns is one of the finest Afternoon Tea experiences in Mayfair, with a menu that changes with the seasons. Charlie's, the restaurant named for Charlie Chaplin who was once a regular, serves a contemporary European menu in a room of extraordinary charm. The spa — compact but beautifully designed — offers treatments using Bamford skincare. The 33 rooms and suites each have a different character, dressed in Sir Rocco Forte's trademark warm English country house style. Best for: those who want the most intimate grand hotel experience in Mayfair, literary history lovers, and guests who prefer warmth over spectacle.
