The Kipling Suite BROWN’S HOTEL, A ROCCO FORTE HOTEL

Rudyard Kipling wrote The Jungle Book at Brown’s Hotel, so it’s only fitting that the hotel recently designed a suite in his honor. The quirky decor by Olga Polizzi features English wallpaper, fabrics from Lewis & Wood and hand-picked antiques contrasted with pieces of contemporary furniture. There are charming nods to Kipling throughout, including a white monkey near the suite’s lobby, safari hats and elephant objects. The large living room boasts floor-to-ceiling windows and high ceilings, as well as original cornices and paneling. Special amenities Two 30-minute spa treatments, Ruinart champagne on arrival, choice of pillows, linens and mattress, in-suite check-in, packing and unpacking services, one-way airport transfer, complimentary Wi-Fi, local calls, handy mobile phone, full English breakfast and in-suite movies, connecting room available Size 1,812 sq ft

Choose from one of four bespoke experiences as a guest at The Kipling Suite: mix your own martinis in-suite, take a masterclass in the Bloody Mary at The Donovan Bar, enjoy a private tour of Peter Harrington Rare Books or have a personalized shopping excursion at the nearby Paul Smith boutique.
