NileGuide Expert tip:
Afternoon tea is one of London's best
Description:
- A luxurious hotel right in the heart of Mayfair, Brown's was built in 1837 after James Brown, the valet of poet Lord Byron, noticed the lack of top-quality hotels in London. Its most distinguished feature is the Georgian façade, and the sumptuous interior is reminiscent of an English country manor house. Brown's was one of Agatha Christie's favorite haunts, a place where she liked to observe the eccentricities of life so intrinsic to the plots of her many whodunits. Rooms feature feather duvets and large beds. Choose from standard rooms to several choices in luxurious suites.
