Durrants, Grade II listed hotel in Marylebone, England
Description
Durrants is a hotel occupying multiple Georgian townhouses at 26-32 George Street, comprising 92 rooms spread across interconnected historic buildings in central London. The property contains a range of room types including suites and period-style accommodation, along with dedicated meeting spaces and areas for private events.
History
The property opened in 1789 as residential townhouses and transformed into a hotel during the early 1800s. The Miller family took over in 1921 and maintained independent management of the establishment.
Culture
The dining room serves seasonal British cuisine prepared with local ingredients, creating a sense of home-cooked comfort rather than formal fine dining. The Spy Lounge and George Bar function as genuine gathering spaces where locals and guests naturally mix throughout the day.
Practical
The hotel sits directly opposite art museums and is easily walkable for exploring the surrounding neighborhood on foot. The multi-building layout means guests may need to navigate through various corridors or connected passages to reach different areas.
Did you know?
The establishment remains one of London's last independently owned and operated hotels in an era when chains dominate the market. This independence allows the property to maintain its own character and guest approach rather than follow standardized corporate rules.
