Experts' Choice Award Brown's Hotel
What the experts agree on
London's oldest hotel (since 1837) blends historic charm with elegant modern touches—think Donovan Bar cocktails, Charlie's dining, and thoughtful details like bedtime cookies, all with a surprisingly relaxed Mayfair vibe.
“Opened in 1837 by Lord Byron’s butler, this luxury hotel set in four historic Mayfair townhouses mixes classic English style with modern touches.”

Fodor's "Tongues wag, however, that even though it's one of the priciest of hotels, neither the interiors nor the service really add up the way they used to." Full review
