Brown’s Hotel in London, a Rocco Forte Hotel, has opened the doors of its re-designed Kipling Suite following a three-month renovation, led by Olga Polizzi, the group’s Director of Design.
The original Kipling Suite has been merged with the Albemarle Suite and reimagined to form the largest space now available to guests of Brown’s Hotel. Named in celebration of the English author Rudyard Kipling, who wrote The Jungle Book during one of his many stays at Brown’s Hotel, the suite features personal touches from the hotel’s illustrious history.
The Kipling Suite is the first of the ‘Forte Suites’ to be unveiled by Rocco Forte Hotels, part of the newly launched Rocco Forte Suite Experience programme of benefits for guests.
Olga Polizzi and her team have designed a new entrance lobby for the suite, which leads into the bedroom and Kipling sitting room. With floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, views over Mayfair’s Albemarle Street and the use of English wallpaper and fabrics by designers Lewis & Wood, as well as silk curtain fabric by Manuel Canovas and furniture by Julian Chichester, the hotel’s location is central to the suite’s design.
Olga Polizzi has maintained the original plaster features of the Kipling Suite sitting room and has sourced new timber flooring to run throughout the suite. A new luxurious hand-knotted rug, additional seating, sofa and chairs, have been added to create more comfort in the enlarged space. The pièce de résistance: a framed hand-written letter from Rudyard Kipling, penned and sent during a stay at Brown’s Hotel.
