Brown’s, a Rocco Forte Hotel, has unveiled a new British springtime-inspired front hall. Designer Olga Polizzi pays homage to the hotel’s British heritage and illustrious legacy through the décor and ornately crafted patterns of its new reception area. The hero of the new front hall is the hand painted wallpaper featuring ‘whimsical wisteria’, created exclusively for Brown’s by renowned British interior designer and artist, Adam Ellis.
“I wanted to convey the quintessential English garden feel in a fun and playful way. The oversized wisteria, the bright colours and strong patterns are an ode to spring in the United Kingdom and make the front hall interesting and joyful,” explained Olga Polizzi, the creative mind behind the design process.
The new front hall follows a larger restoration of Brown’s. The signature Donovan Bar exudes luxury with rich green velvety tones and the restaurant Beck at Brown’s boasts playful foliage patterns. Both spaces were renovated in 2018, and collectively furnish a stunning new look for the entire ground floor.
The front hall celebrates a fresh new approach to welcoming guests whilst continuing Brown’s legacy of being London’s original luxury hotel for over 180 years. The palette of blue and mint green hues combine to create a residential-style space where guests are welcomed to their home-away-from-home. The new front hall also features a signature belvedere glass roof that brings an abundance of natural daylight into the centre of the space.
