About Brown's Hotel

With over 190 years of history, Brown's Hotel is a unique, one-of-a-kind gem in the heart of London, occupying one of the most coveted spots in the Capital. In 1832, it opened on Albemarle Street, Mayfair, by James and Sarah Brown and in that time it has never been renamed, and has stayed as a place to see the best of the city, come together with friends and family, and celebrate the good times - like Christmas.

So, if you're looking for a sophisticated place to enjoy the festive season, whether that be for a special dinner or to treat a whole room of guests, take a closer look at Brown's Hotel. The hotel boasts six stunning events suites and meeting rooms, with a maximum capacity of 120 people. For an intimate dinner, perhaps the The Lord Byron Room is exactly what you're looking for, which boasts a cosy central table with a capacity for 12 people for a special supper. Walls are decorated with floral wallpaper and vintage furniture adds charm and charisma to the space. If you want to make the space a little bigger, you can open the adjoining doors to The Graham Bell Room.

If you really want to go all out, we have to recommend The Clarendon Room which is the largest space at Brown's Hotel. Named after Clarendon House, it features hand-printed wallpaper, sweeping ceilings and a total capacity of 120 people standing, 70 people seated. The space can be arranged into a U-shape, smaller, round tables or just one main dining table, and there's even a private entrance out onto Dover Street which is pretty snazzy.

Catering is provided in house, whether you're imagining a traditional dinner with all the trimmings, or canapes and cocktails. And, one of the best things about throwing your shindig at a hotel is there's space for everyone to stay! Pre-book rooms for your team so no one has to journey the long commute home after the fun has ended.
