Vacation season is upon us and while it’s exciting to get away, it can be a total drag to figure out the details. Luckily, the people at Rocco Forte have taken care of that for us. Rocco Forte’s iconic Brown’s Hotel is celebrating its 175th Anniversary this year. To honor the hotel, now through December 1st, there is an assortment of offerings like a special 175 Years Suite package, a Victorian era-inspired menu, and indulgent spa treatments. Interestingly enough, the hotel has had a number of notable people rest their weary heads there. Folks like Alexander Graham Bell, Rudyard Kipling, Agatha Christie, and even Queen Victoria have all stayed there. Even today, notable artists like Tracey Emin, Paul Smith, Nicholas Kirkwood, and Stella McCartney all frequent the hotel.
- 175 Year Suite Package: This package offers guests a second night for the small price of $29.60 (or £18.37, which is the hotel’s founding date) when they book a night in one of the hotel’s signature suites. The package also includes a complimentary English breakfast and both packing and unpacking service.
- Victorian-era Menu: Brown’s nostalgic menu will feature seasonal Victorian dishes created by Mark Hix and Lee Streeton and will include dishes such as hochepot soup, rabbit and wallfish pie and savoy cake. The menu will fluctuate seasonally throughout the year. A two course menu is also available for $29.60 (£18.37).
- The Spa at Brown’s: This hotel spa is the first to offer the full Ciaté expereience, where guests can choose from a number of manicure and pedicure treatments from the notable nail brand. Also available are fun treatments such as the caviar manicure or the velvet manicure.
See you there!
