Michelin Guide "Urbane and very British... with an illustrious past."
Concierge "Reopened in December 2005 after a $30 million–plus overhaul, its future is now as bright as its past."
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

"There’s an element of the theatrical in its studied Englishness; you’re helped out of your car by a doorman in a top hat, in front of a row of eleven Georgian townhouses in the middle of Mayfair." Full review
Time Out "Brown’s was opened in 1837 by James Brown, butler to Romantic poet, hedonist and freedom-fighter Lord Byron." Full review
DK Eyewitness "This historic hotel... has undergone extensive refurbishment, which respects its heritage while introducing contemporary furniture, British art, and the latest technology."
Insight Guides "A distinguished, very British hotel with 117 rooms and a smart Mayfair location. "
Star Service "Consistently ranks as one of the most quintessentially English hotels around: genteel, historical and service-oriented, and offering...a superb Afternoon Tea." Full review
Gayot "This collection of eleven Georgian townhouses, having undergone a sleek, £24 million refurbishment, remains a delightful, old-fashioned hotel with stained-glass windows and oak paneling."
