Brown’s Hotel, a Rocco Forte Hotel
When you make your way to London’s posh Mayfair district, you’ll come across Brown’s Hotel. It opened in 1837 and has hosted royalty, politicians, and other luminaries. Rocco Forte Hotels acquired it in 2003, and a renovation followed. The hotel is now stylish and luxurious, with a nod to its rich history. It is known for its afternoon tea service, which is served in the elegant drawing room where Queen Victoria used to chug mass quantities of that stuff.
