Durrants Hotel

Durrants Hotel is located in George Street, London.

Durrants Hotel

Established in 1789, the hotel has been owned by the Miller family since 1921 and is one of the last remaining privately owned hotels in London.[1][2] The building has 92 rooms, and several houses have been incorporated into the building's structure.[1][3][4][5] It is located opposite the Wallace Collection art galleries.[5]

The hotel underwent a twenty-room renovation in the early 2000s and at the same time a new head chef Pascal Valée joined the premises.[4]

It is a grade II listed building.[6]

In the News

A 22 year old hall porter, Michael Joseph Feeley, was remanded in custody charged with 'maliciously setting a fire' at the hotel on 28 December 1969.[7]
