| Background: The Grosvenor House was opened in 1928
(to serve the first transatlantic cruise passengers) on the same site as the
original Grosvenor House (demolished in 1927) which was renowned for its 18th
century splendour. The old Grosvenor house was built in 1730 and bought by the
Grosvenor family in 1806. Until that time it had been the residence for
different members of the aristocracy and for for much of the time it was also a
Royal residence. Its original address was 33 Upper Grosvenor Street although it
did share the frontage along Park Lane and it was notable as being a detached
property at that time. In 1916 it was handed over to the government to take
control of by the Duke of Westminster. The hotel is currently owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland and is managed by Marriott hotels. |
