Brown's Hotel London

An Insider's Take
'London's first hotel continues to set the standard for timeless British elegance in the heart of Mayfair.' What's Special? Brown's Hotel holds the prestigious title of London's first hotel, opening in 1837. This historic Mayfair property is where afternoon tea was first served in a hotel, and it's been perfected here for over 180 years. The hotel occupies 11 Georgian townhouses seamlessly connected, creating an intimate village-like atmosphere in central London. Notable guests have included Theodore Roosevelt, Agatha Christie (who wrote parts of her novels here), and Queen Victoria's son.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the legendary afternoon tea at least 6 weeks in advance - it's served in the same drawing room where the tradition began, complete with finger sandwiches, scones, and pastries on fine bone china.
Don't Miss The English Tea Room for the original afternoon tea experience, HIX Mayfair restaurant featuring British cuisine, and the hotel's prime location just steps from Bond Street shopping, Green Park, and the Royal Academy of Arts. The cozy Donovan Bar serves vintage cocktails in an intimate setting lined with photographs by Terence Donovan.
