More Luxury Hotels – Their Stories & Secrets  New Walk!

This is a standalone walk that can also be enjoyed before or after The Secrets of London’s Luxury Hotels.

LASHINGS OF LUXURY, LIBERALITY AND LICENTIOUSNESS – ROUND II

Andy Hotels has written two books on London’s luxury hotels – on The Savoy and on Brown’s (indeed, he’s the resident historian of Brown’s Hotel). So two completely different Secrets of London’s Luxury Hotels walks – well, it was meant to be. It was always on the cards – face cards all of them. The first Secrets of London’s Luxury Hotels Walk – Round I takes in The Savoy. This walk is Round II. We’ve christened it More Luxury Hotels – Their Stories & Secrets.  It pays a visit to Browns (and Dukes, Claridge’s and the Connaught).  The four Mayfair and St James’s aces. Different hotels, different neighbourhoods, different stories. Different secrets. Different walks.

They’re not prequel and sequel. They’re kith and kin but different. Two very different peas in the pod, as it were.

Join Andy Hotels on a walk featuring Dukes, Brown’s, Claridge’s, The Connaught and beyond. This is a stand-alone walk that takes off where its sibling left off. It reveals the glitter and the glamour, the tales and the tricks, the famous folk and the foibles of another handful of the capital’s most frightfully famous lodgings.

Find out where Ian Fleming was shaken and not stirred; the secret hotel tunnel used by royals; the wine cellar where the Yanks clubbed together during the war; the only American president to be married overseas; Mark Twain strolling down the street in his bathrobe to take a dip in the pool where Queen Elizabeth learned to swim; the hotel dining club where prime ministers and generals met behind closed doors; the public palace that became Yugoslavia for the day; and the five-star features of a fortress inspired by the Doge’s Palace in Venice. And much more besides!

This walk can be enjoyed on its own or as a tasty accompaniment to The Secrets of London’s Luxury Hotels – Round I.
