About Durrant's Hotel

Discover our history, family and a little more about us

A Historic Gem in the Heart of Marylebone

Welcome to Durrant’s Hotel, where timeless elegance meets modern comfort. Nestled in the heart of Marylebone, London, Durrant’s has been a cherished landmark since its establishment in 1789 as a historic coaching inn. Proudly owned by the Miller family since 1921, Durrant’s celebrated its centenary in 2021—a milestone reflecting over 100 years of exceptional hospitality.

A Legacy of Hospitality

For more than a century, we’ve been perfecting the art of hospitality. As a family-owned hotel, our philosophy is simple: to create a warm, stylish haven where guests can relax and feel at home. From the grandeur of the early 20th century to the modern charm of today, we have evolved with the times while preserving our rich history and character.

Stories That Shape Our Character

Over the years, Durrant’s has witnessed many fascinating moments, and some of them remain fresh in our collective memory. One of our most amusing anecdotes dates back to July 1961. On a particularly hot summer day, a scruffy young man wandered into the Spy Lounge, admiring the artwork.

Unimpressed by his attire and demeanour, Mr. Miller Senior politely declined his request to stay, only to later discover that he’d turned away none other than Andy Warhol, one of the most celebrated artists of the 20th century.

Times—and dress codes—have changed since then. Today, we embrace art and creativity in all its forms, housing a collection of over 70 original artworks throughout the hotel. From classic portraits to modern pieces, and even a touch of taxidermy, our collection reflects the diverse eras of Durrants’ history.

A Family Tradition

The Miller family’s influence is woven into every corner of Durrant’s. Many of the pieces in our collection were acquired by Charles Miller, who purchased the hotel in 1921. His portrait hangs proudly on the ground floor, a reminder of the legacy that continues through his grandson, the current Mr. Miller.
