A recent make-over is effortlessly eclectic: There are plush Eagle & Hodges couches, with oriental rugs set snugly beneath mid-century chairs.

Elsewhere, there’s a gym and pool area with infrared saunas, and a restaurant and terrace set along the river. In the summertime, you can play tennis at the on-site courts, or follow one of the nature trails that wind around the grounds.

It may be the oldest hotel in London, but Brown’s is no museum piece. The sense of history is palpable – in the rich wood paneling, the stained-glass windows, the antique artwork – but there’s a fabulously fresh modernity, too.
