Background: An historic hotel dating back to 1865 when it was the first hotel in Europe to be classed as a Deluxe Grand Hotel. The original grand opening was by the Prince of Wales, later to become King Edward VII and it followed two years of construction from 1863. At the time of opening it was the largest hotel in London. Notably electric lights in the entrance and courtyard were installed in 1879. The hotel closed during World 11 after being hit during a German bombing raid. The BBC had, and still have, headquarters on the opposite side of the road. After the war they used the building for accommodation as well as filming. In 1986 the building was sold to the Ladbrokes Group for twenty Six Million pounds and Ladbrokes went on to buy the non-USA arm of the Hilton group. On March 4th 1991 the hotel reopened in its former Victorian opulent glory after a total rebuild during a one hundred million pound rebuild under the Hilton brand. Now owned by Langham Hotels International.
Memories Restaurant, Tsar's restaurant and bar and Chukka Bar closed in 2006.

Reported to be among the most haunted hotels in the world with no less than seven ghosts claimed to have been seen at one point or another. In room 333 guests have reported seeing a man dress in Victorian clothing. Said to be the spirit of a doctor who murdered his wife and then hung himself in  the hotel.
