Beautiful iconic hotel - we had a friendly and helpful shuttle driver and had a great check in experience, a nice clean room, comfortable beds, and good experience in the restaurant. My only complaint was trying to book the shuttle for the ride back to the airport the front desk lady was miserable and unhelpful.

We were at the Brown hotel for a wedding. Love the history around this hotel and we had a great time. Room was on the 10th floor. Room was lovely, very spacious and comfortable. Also, it was very quiet. Nothing like some of the newer hotels we have stayed in with walls as thin as paper. Only issue we had was the large closet didn’t have a light but everything else was excellent.

Brown Christmas

We spent Christmas here. It was wonderful. Their Holiday Brunch was over the top, the food is incredible at every venue. The bar is advertised as one of the 15th best in the world, and I believe that. Parking is easy. Staff is great.
