History
Commissioned in 1773 by the 'Queen of Hell' Elizabeth, Countess of Home, and designed by architects James Wyatt and Robert Adam, the Grade I-listed townhouse was built as a 'palace of pleasure' for grand entertaining. After serving various roles, including housing the Courtauld Institute of Art, it was meticulously restored and established as a private members' club and hotel in 1998. The property has since expanded to encompass three adjacent Georgian townhouses at 19, 20, and 21 Portman Square.
The setting
Home House is a Mayfair hotel on the west side of Mayfair in London. This is dinner, a drink, and a well-dressed midnight. Berkeley Square and Green Park sit between the shops and the palace; Mount Street is the quieter window-shopping lane.
