Some breakfasts are nice. Others stay with you.
My breakfast at Brown’s Hotel in Mayfair definitely falls into the second category. It felt like my own Breakfast at Tiffany’s moment, but British, elegant, and perfectly Mayfair!
Between the beautiful setting, flawless service and indulgent dishes, everything came together effortlessly.
Today, DOYOUSPEAKLONDON invites you to discover one of London’s most iconic hotel breakfasts.
Brown’s Hotel Mayfair: a London icon with timeless elegance
Tucked away in the heart of Mayfair, Brown’s Hotel is not just a luxury hotel, it’s a piece of London history. Part of the Rocco Forte Hotels collection, this legendary address has welcomed writers, royals, and tastemakers since 1837.
From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is quietly glamorous. Polished wood, refined interiors, and that unmistakable sense of old-world London luxury.
Visiting in December made it even more special, with Christmas decorations everywhere, wrapping the hotel in a festive, welcoming glow.
I couldn’t help but be completely enchanted by the beauty of the place. Every corner felt magical, inviting, and full of holiday charm!
The hotel’s location, just moments from Bond Street and Green Park, makes it the perfect setting for an indulgent breakfast before a day in the city.
Next, let’s step into The Drawing Room and my breakfast experience!
A breakfast at Brown’s Hotel: a true Mayfair fairytale
Breakfast at Brown’s Hotel is served in The Drawing Room, and this is truly where the magic happens!
The menu offers a signature breakfast experience that delights at every turn.
From Adam’s brûlée porridge, delicately caramelised and deeply comforting, even if not the most photogenic, to Brown’s granola, perfectly balanced with crunch and freshness, every dish is carefully considered.
The three-egg omelette with caviar is pure indulgence, while the crumpet topped with white crab feels both generous and unforgettable. Each bite is a reminder that breakfast here is a refined experience!
What makes breakfast at The Drawing Room so special is how every dish feels thoughtfully prepared. The presentation is beautiful, the ingredients are excellent, and the flavours speak for themselves. Luxury that never feels overdone.
The Drawing Room, with its classic wood panelling, has welcomed guests for nearly two centuries and even inspired Agatha Christie’s At Bertram’s Hotel.
Bright, elegant, and full of character, it’s the kind of space where breakfast naturally lingers. Sitting there, surrounded by so much history, was truly impressive.
More reasons to visit Brown’s Hotel: afternoon tea & beyond

Afternoon Tea here is said to be legendary, combining classic British tradition with a modern touch. Lunch and other dining options offer refined yet approachable menus, perfect for both special occasions and relaxed catch-ups.
And for those who enjoy a stylish drink, the hotel bar provides a sophisticated spot to unwind and soak up the Mayfair atmosphere.
