Beautiful hidden gem London hotel loved by celebrities and with fascinating past
OK! checked in to Henry's Townhouse in London's Marylebone, once the home of Jane Austen's brother and which has been transformed into a stunning boutique hotel
The building, located at 24 Upper Berkeley Street in London's much-loved Marylebone neighbourhood, was once the residence of Jane Austen's reportedly favourite brother, Henry, in the 18th Century. It's believed that Jane frequently visited Henry and his wife Cassandra here, and there are even suggestions that she wrote parts of Sense and Sensibility within these walls (devoted fans might recognise references to this townhouse in the novel). I had the pleasure of staying in the Cassandra room, adorned in calming powder blue hues and filled with special touches, from the shell-shaped bath draped in curtains and the gilded dressing table to the artwork on the walls and fresh flowers in bud glasses, plus a large desk should you feel inspired to pen your own masterpiece.
