Rocco Forte集团旗下的Brown’s Hotel，于1837年维多利亚女皇登基的一年，在梅费尔区中心瑰丽开业，成为伦敦的第一家酒店。成立至今180年来，酒店曾款待多位造访伦敦的皇室贵族和文豪，还有普立兹奖和金像奖得主，以及音乐家、科学家、探险家和政治人物等。
今年冬季，为庆祝Brown’s Hotel开业180周年，酒店特别为宾客策划独一无二的体验，让宾客了解酒店的故事，回顾酒店与无数重要客人谱写的传奇。客人能入住酒店两晚或以上，并享有房价八折优惠、每天早餐和保证升级客房安排，同时还能在享负盛名的English Tea Room享用免费双人下午茶。
预订优惠套餐的宾客，能像阿拉伯的劳伦斯(Laurence of Arabia)和传奇作家乔治‧欧威尔(George Orwell)一样，在美国罗斯福总统(Franklin Roosevelt)度蜜月的房间内享用下午茶，而由于酒店的历史显赫，这间房间更成为城中最著名的茶室之一。客人能呷一口香槟或英式香茶，品尝资深名厨准备的美味三明治和司康饼，在惬意的环境里享受悠闲，感受教多位历史名人感到宾至如归的氛围。
在入住期间，宾客能探索启发阿加莎‧克里斯蒂(Agatha Christie)名作《At Bertram’s Hotel》的灵感，而由于Brown’s Hotel毗邻白金汉宫，维多利亚女王经常光临，因此客人也能跟随君王的足迹，细意漫游酒店。同时，客人能乘坐由专人驾驶的豪华宾利骄车，前往皇宫和穿越著名的林荫路，同时善用酒店的优越位置，尽情畅游梅费尔区，前往信步可达的庞德街时装店、萨维尔街的裁缝店，以及雅宝街的艺廊和剧院。
游览过后，宾客能入住全新装修的Brown’s Suite套房。套房的住客包括不少本世纪家传户晓的作家，例如经常光临的鲁德亚德‧吉卜林(Rudyard Kipling)，便在酒店里完成《丛林奇谭》一书，而斯蒂芬‧金(Stephen King)也坐在同一张书桌前完成了新作。由Olga Polizzi特别设计的雅致套房，每一间也设有书房，让客人能细读一众文豪的经典作品。
Brown’s Hotel, a Rocco Forte hotel in the heart of Mayfair, opened its doors in 1837 as the first hotel in London, the same year Queen Victoria ascended to the throne. In the 180 years since it has rightly become a London base for royalty and writers, from Pulitzer Prize and Oscar winners to musicians and scientists, explorers and politicians alike.
This winter, in celebration of 180 years of Brown’s Hotel, the hotel is offering an unparalleled opportunity for guests to visit the property and bask in the intimate historical setting that has been home to so many. Guests can enjoy two nights stay or more, with 20% off the room rate, breakfast every day, a guaranteed upgrade and a complimentary Afternoon Tea for Two in the infamous English Tea Room.
Guests enjoying this offer will follow in the footsteps of Laurence of Arabia and George Orwell, sipping tea in the very room that Franklin Roosevelt visited on his honeymoon and, due to the hotel’s illustrious past, has become one of the most treasured tea rooms in town. With a glass of champagne, a cup of English tea, delicious sandwiches and scones by some of the most experienced chefs, guests can relax in the warming atmosphere that has hosted many of history’s most alluring characters.
During their stay, guests will not only discover the insights that inspired Agatha Christie’s book At Bertram’s Hotel, but will also be following the footsteps of royalty as the hotel was one of Queen Victoria’s favourite city haunts as it is so close to Buckingham Palace. Guests taking advantage of the offer can use the chauffeured Bentley to go and visit the Royal Palace and drive up the famous Mall. Set in the perfect location, from the hotel guests can explore all that Mayfair has to offer–tempting boutiques of Bond Street, tailors on Saville Row, art galleries on Albemarle and theatres just a short stroll away.
Back in the hotel, guests can enjoy one of the newly renovated Brown’s Suites whose walls once housed some of the most prolific writers of the century. A regular guest, Rudyard Kipling penned the Jungle Book when staying at the hotel, and Stephen King followed by writing a novel from Rudyard’s very own desk. Olga Polizzi’s elegant design includes libraries in each of the rooms, so guests can peruse the selection of books by the talented authors.
