Mr Wolfe’s review of Brown’s Hotel
- Privately owned
- Historic building
- Superb service
- Dog-friendly
London’s oldest hotel, where Kipling wrote and Alexander Graham Bell made a telephone call that he presumably regretted for the rest of his life. Brown’s is grand but homely, a combination only the English can pull off without a hint of irony.
The English Tea Room is panelled, hushed and quite perfect; the Donovan Bar is where I go to remember things I should have forgotten. Dogs are welcomed with a bed, a bowl and the kind of attention most of us only receive at christenings.
