Home House has never really been a hotel. A member’s club that grants access to non-members staying overnight, it was conceived, in the 18th century, as a pavilion to pleasure. The building was commissioned by Elizabeth, Countess of Home, a twice widowed sugar-plantation heiress in her 60s who wanted to build a Neo-Classical party-pad where she could entertain guests. She commissioned celebrated architect, Robert Adam to do the job — it remains his finest surviving London townhouse.
