BROWN S HOTEL HOTEL AMIGO BRUSSELS VILLA KENNEDY FRANKFURT THE CHARLES HOTEL MUNICH Our hotels are landmarks right at the very heart of the city, except for our resort, which is suitably remote. They are as much a part of each location s landscape as the Spanish Steps in Rome or St Isaac s Cathedral in St Petersburg. They are colourful, characterful buildings with interiors that resonate with the local culture.
