| History: One of the oldest surviving hotels in London. 81 Jermyn Street was first built in 1674 although it has undergone major additions and reconstruction over the years. It is unknown exactly when it first became a hotel but was sometime in the late 1700's with a new lease being applied for in 1811. It was at that time called Millers Hotel and was noted as being 'very old' ( it also was made up partly of 20 Duke Street). A second floor was added in 1816. During the 1830's the hotels name was changed to the 'Orléans Hotel' and then to its now famous name of 'the Cavendish' in 1836. In 1904 it came under the ownership of perhaps its best known owner, British chef Rosa Lewis, the infamous "Duchess of Duke Street". She took over ownership from Excelsior Lewis. Rosa Lewis gained notoriety over her alleged affair with King Edward VII. In 1911 Rosa gained new leases for the 'Hotel Andre' (and formerly known as the 'British Hotel' prior to 1908) at the adjacent numbers 82 and 83 Jermyn Street (along with those for 18,19 and 20 Duke Street). The 3 buildings (81-83) being renovated to become one hotel under the Cavendish name. |
