Owned by the Forte family for four generations, Brown’s Hotel prides itself on being a family-friendly destination that indulges each of our guests with the royal treatment. We’re constantly inventing new ways to delight our younger guests from their very first stay with us, starting with a check-in gift for every child of a personalised gingerbread biscuit and their very own Alby, Brown’s monkey mascot.
Our peerless location in Mayfair puts us within easy reach of six royal parks, as well as Buckingham and Kensington Palaces. Whether taking an easy walk to witness the Changing of the Guard, visiting regal exhibitions or exploring palace gardens, make the most of sightseeing as new parents with complimentary use of an exclusive Silver Cross pram. The Rolls-Royce of strollers, these state-of-the-art, handmade perambulators have been favoured by the British Royal Family for generations.
When it’s time to dine, whether savouring Italian cuisine at Beck at Brown’s or enjoying our award-winning Afternoon Tea for adults and children, we’ve ensured the experience is as comfortable as it is delicious for little ones. We’ve partnered with contemporary children’s furniture designer Bloom Baby to provide families with exceptionally comfortable, handcrafted high chairs.
As night falls, warm cookies and milk await sleepyheads as part of our turndown service. We’ve made bedtime a pleasure, with Bloom Baby cots in your guest room or suite offering little princes and princesses aged up to five unparalleled comfort after a day out in London. Story time’s all taken care of, too, with Alby the monkey’s signature storybook Alby’s Day Out included as part of your stay.

As summer brings longer days, warmer weather and time away from routine, Europe’s family festival scene promises a vibrant and eclectic escape. Whether you’re exploring Brussels, Edinburgh or London, each city offers the perfect starting point for a shared adventure through music, theatre, food and storytelling.
In an always-on world, the greatest luxury may well be presence. At Verdura Resort in Sicily, days unfold not around screens but shared meals, salty swims and the kind of conversations that happen when no one is scrolling. For families, it’s a chance to reset – and a powerful reminder of the value of time spent together, offline.
High in Sicily’s Sicani Mountains, where olive trees twist with age and the clear air affords panoramas over Monte Pellegrino, is the little-known town of Caltabellotta. Perched on the hillside like a sentinel, its stone houses and church façades overlook valleys of almond trees and wild fennel. Here, long life is not planned or pursued - it’s simply a natural outcome of living in tune with the land and seasons.
