It later expanded in the 1920's by acquiring the adjacent Haxell's Hotel and carrying out a large scale refurbishment to merge the two buildings. The hotel has a strong American connection due to being used by American forces during world war II as a rest and recuperation residence. In 1958 all bedrooms were fitted with en-suite facilities.
In 1969 the hotels glamorous 1930's foyer was saved from being destroyed, being restored and placed on display at the Victoria and Albert museum in 2003. In 2008 it was shipped to Melbourne Australia to become part of NGV's major art deco exhibition.
