The Tower Hotel is a large hotel situated on the north bank of the River Thames in Wapping, on the east side of Tower Bridge, in London. The hotel was designed by the Renton Howard Wood Partnership, constructed by Taylor Woodrow for owners J. Lyons & Co., and opened in September 1973 by the Constable of the Tower of London, Sir Richard Hull. It was built in a Brutalist style and was voted the second most hated building in London in a 2006 BBC poll. J. Lyons operated the hotel until July 1977 when it was sold for £6.5m to EMI Leisure. In 1980, EMI Leisure properties, including the Tower Hotel, were sold to Trusthouse Forte. The hotel was later acquired by the Thistle Hotels group. The hotel has 801 rooms, as well as 19 meeting rooms with capacity for up to 600 people. It also has a gym, restaurant, coffee bar, and licensed premises. The hotel is owned by Singapore-based GuocoLeisure which briefly shifted the hotel into a separate luxury brand called Guoman Hotels, later GLH Hotels and now Clermont Hotel Group. It is frequently used for roof top filming due to its high level view of a skyline including Tower Bridge, Tower of London and the river. The nearest London Underground station is Tower Hill. Tower Gateway DLR station is also nearby. See also Hotels in London Silver Jubilee Crystal Crown, mounted on the wall of the Tower Hotel References

Malmaison (hotel chain)

Malmaison is a hotel company that is based in London, England. The company was established in 1994, and is currently owned by Frasers Property. History Malmaison was founded by Scottish hotelier Ken McCulloch in 1994 in collaboration with hotel group Arcadian International. The first hotel opened in Leith are of Edinburgh, with a second opening in Glasgow a month later. The chain is named after the Château de Malmaison located in Rueil-Malmaison on the outskirts of Paris, which inspired the design and style found within its hotels. Malmaison owner MWB Group went into administration in November 2012. US private equity firm KSL Capital Partners purchased Malmaison for an estimated £180 million in March 2013. Under KSL ownership a hotel was opened in Dundee. In May 2014 Malmaison stopped serving foie gras in their hotel restaurants, after a campaign by animal rights group PETA. In January 2015, under guidance from investment bank UBS, KSL sought prospective buyers for Malmaison and the Hotel du Vin chain (HDV). Private equity firms Terra Firma Capital Partners and TDR Capital were identified by Sky News in March 2015 as being two of three bidders for the chain. Four months later, in June 2015, the chain along with Hotel du Vin was sold to Frasers Hospitality of Frasers Property Group for £363.4 million. Hotels Malmaison hotels are mainly located in city centres. Each hotel typically has between 70 and 200 rooms, a bar and brasserie (branded as Chez Mal), private dining rooms and meeting rooms. Some hotels also have a champagne bar, a number have gyms and three have a spa. The chain has sixteen hotels, fifteen of which are converted historic buildings, including a prison, a postal sorting office, a church and a building once used as a brothel. As of January 2017, Malmaison's only new-build hotel is located in Liverpool. Controversies Malmaison was subject of protests in February 2017 when wedding fairs at their London and Liverpool hotels were targeted by trade union Unite. The union accused the hotel chain of low pay, long hours, unfair tipping practices, health and safety breaches and alleged management bullying. In response Malmaison stated that "It operates a fair, transparent policy regarding all aspects of remuneration. All employees, regardless of age requirements, are paid at least the National Living Wage. Additionally, it is the rule that 100% of the service charge received is paid out to food and beverage employees and any breach of this will be thoroughly investigated."

Newfield Hall

Newfield Hall is a former country house located 1 mile (1.6 km) to the southeast of the village of Airton, North Yorkshire, England. It is now a hotel. History It was designed by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley for William Nicholson Alcock at a cost of £36,000 (equivalent to £3,350,000 in 2025). Construction of the house started by at least 1855, and it was opened in 1856. Alcock was a lawyer who had moved to Gloucestershire by 1881. The house and its estate were sold in 1890 to William Illingworth, a retired Bradford worsted manufacturer. It was sold again in 1901 to John William Morkill who became High Sheriff of Yorkshire in 1929–30 and a Deputy Lieutenant, and who wrote the standard local history of Malhamdale. During the 1930s the estate was broken up, the house being leased to the Holiday Fellowship, and the rest of the estate was sold to All Souls College, Oxford. The house has since been used as a hotel administered by HF Holidays.

Nidd Hall

Nidd Hall was a 19th-century country house, now a hotel, in the village of Nidd, North Yorkshire, England. It is a Grade II listed building. It is constructed of coursed squared gritstone and ashlar with grey slate roofs. It is built in 3 storeys in a 9 x 8 bay rectangular block. History Nidd Hall, an Elizabethan Manor house, was the seat of the Trappes family. The Catholic priest, Peter Snow, would appear to have resided with Ralph Grimston at Nidd, and in 1598 was arrested in his company. They were both martyred at York on 15 June of that year. On 23 February 1606, the manor and lordship of Nidd was transferred by Lord William Howard and others, apparently acting as trustees, to Sir William Mallory and Sir William Ingleby, probably trustees to the Byrnand estate for Sir Francis Trappes-Byrnand, whose father, Francis Trappes, of London, had married Anne, daughter and heir of Robert Byrnand, Esq., of Knaresborough, whose wife, Anne, was a granddaughter of Richard Neville, Lord Latimer. Sir Francis Trappes, who was knighted at Windsor in 1603, assumed the additional surname of Byrnand, and was the first of his family to reside at Nidd Hall. The hall was rebuilt in 1825 for Benjamin Rawson, a businessman with major commercial interests in Bradford, who had bought the 4000-acre estate from Francis Michael Trappes the previous year. It passed on his death in 1844 to his daughter Elizabeth, who died at the hall in 1890. It then passed to her great-nephew Hon. Henry Edmund Butler, of Eagle Hall, Pateley Bridge, the son of Viscount Mountgarret, who assumed in 1891 the surname of Rawson-Butler by Royal licence. In 1902 he reverted to the name of Butler. Henry was appointed High Sheriff of Yorkshire for 1895 and became the 14th Viscount Mountgarret in 1900. In 1890–93 he greatly enlarged and remodelled the hall in the classical style. The estate then descended to Richard Butler, 17th Viscount Mountgarret, who sold it in the 1960s to racehorse owner Guy Reed, who operated the Nidd Hall Stud on the site. He later sold the estate to the racehorse owner and trainer Hon. Ian Matthews, who ran it as the Nidd Park Stud. By 1987 the size of the estate had reduced to 250 acres. In that year a unique style 6 Welte Orchestrion was removed from one of the rooms and sold at auction to an American collector. The hall is now a Warner Leisure Hotels 4-star hotel.

Old Swan Hotel

The Old Swan Hotel in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England, is part of the Classic Lodges group. History Hospitality has been available on the site since at least 1777, originally it was the 'Swan Inn" in Low Harrogate separate from the settlement of High Harrogate. In the late nineteenth century, it was extensively redeveloped by the "Harrogate Hydropathic Company" as a fashionable spa hotel and included Victorian Turkish baths. Its name was "Swan Hydropathic Hotel" or as the locals called it "The Hydro". It had its own farm on Penny Pot Lane to provide for the kitchens. It was the first building in Harrogate to have electric light. A vertical steam engine drove a DC generator and also the hotel laundry. The steam engine was re-activated to drive the laundry by Jack Gill of John Redfearn's garage at the hotel in the 1950s until electric motors took over. The fuel was coke from Harrogate Gas Works. In 1939 the hotel was requisitioned at 48 hours' notice by the Ministry of Aircraft Production and cables were laid to a new telephone exchange in the Library Restaurant. Power cables were laid directly from the hotel to the corporation power station beside Jenny Plain passing in a straight line through every private property on the way. It was attacked by an enemy aircraft in 1943 but only the house at the end of Swan Road by Ripon Road was destroyed. By the mid-1950s Harrogate had an image problem. The "Bath chair" image of Victorian spa towns was now unfashionable and the Hydro was renamed "The Old Swan Hotel" "famous since 1777". It was listed in 1975 as a Grade II listed building. In the early 1980s, the hotel was a focal point of the Harrogate International Festival Of Sound, an annual festival of premium hi-fi equipment. A refurbishment of The Old Swan Hotel and its 136 rooms was finalised in 2006. Agatha Christie's disappearance In December 1926 the author Agatha Christie suddenly disappeared from her home. She was missing for a total of eleven days, during which the police conducted a major manhunt, and there was speculation that she had committed suicide. The disappearance even drew other crime writers Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Dorothy L. Sayers into the search, Doyle's interest in the occult prompting him to take one of Christie's gloves to a medium. After about ten days (having checked into the Swan Hydropathic Hotel under the assumed name Mrs. Teresa Neele) she was recognised by one of the banjo players at the hotel. A 1979 film about the event entitled Agatha was filmed at the hotel. See also Listed buildings in Harrogate (Harlow Moor Ward) White Swan Hotel, Alnwick, also member of the Classic Lodges group.

Old Swan Hotel

Old Swan Hotel är ett hotell i Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England. Historia Hotellet har funnits på platsen sedan åtminstone 1777, ursprungligen var det "Swan Inn" i Low Harrogate separat från bosättningen High Harrogate. I slutet av 1800-talet byggdes det om av "Harrogate Hydropathic Company" till ett fashionabelt spahotell och inkluderade turkiska bad. Dess namn var "The Harrogate Hydro" eller som lokalbefolkningen kallade det "The Hydro". Man hade en egen gård på Penny Pot Lane för att försörja köken. Det var den första byggnaden i Harrogate som hade elektriskt ljus. En vertikal ångmaskin drev en likströmsgenerator och även hotellets tvättstuga. Ångmaskinen återaktiverades för att driva tvätten av Jack Gill i John Redfearns garage på hotellet på 1950-talet tills elmotorer tog över. Bränslet var koks från Harrogate Gas Works. År 1939 rekvirerades hotellet med 48 timmars varsel av ministeriet för flygplansproduktion och kablar drogs till en ny telefonväxel i biblioteksrestaurangen. Elkablar drogs direkt från hotellet till företagets kraftverk bredvid Jenny Plain och passerade i en rak linje genom varje privat egendom på vägen. Det anfölls av ett fientligt flygplan 1943 men endast huset i slutet av Swan Road vid Ripon Road förstördes. I mitten av 1950-talet hade Harrogate problem med sin image. "Badstolen" från viktorianska kurorter var nu omodern och Hydro döptes om till "The Old Swan Hotel" "känt sedan 1700". Det listades 1975 som en kulturminnesmärkt byggnad. I början av 1980-talet var hotellet en samlingspunkt för Harrogate International Festival Of Sound – en årlig festival för förstklassig hifi-utrustning. En renovering av hotellet och dess 136 rum slutfördes 2006. Agatha Christies försvinnande I december 1926 försvann deckarförfattaren Agatha Christie plötsligt från sitt hem. Hon var försvunnen i sammanlagt elva dagar, under vilka polisen genomförde en stor människojakt och det spekulerades i att hon hade begått självmord. Försvinnandet drog till och med in de andra deckarförfattarna Sir Arthur Conan Doyle och Dorothy L. Sayers i sökandet. Doyles intresse för det ockulta fick honom att ta en av Christies handskar till ett medium. Efter ungefär tio dagar (efter att ha checkat in på Swan Hydropathic Hotel under det antagna namnet Mrs. Teresa Neele) blev hon igenkänd av en av banjospelarna på hotellet. En film från 1979 om händelsen med titeln Mysteriet Agatha spelades in på hotellet. Referenser Externa länkar Wikimedia Commons har media som rör Old Swan Hotel. Hemsida

Mile End Park

Der Mile End Park ist ein Park in Mile End, einem Londoner Stadtteil im London Borough of Tower Hamlets. Der langgezogene Park mit einer Fläche von etwa 36 ha liegt auf dem Areal eines ehemaligen Industriegebiets, das im Zweiten Weltkrieg durch Bombenabwürfe zerstört wurde. Westlich wird der Park durch den Regent’s Canal begrenzt, im Norden schließt sich, getrennt durch den Hertford Union Canal, der mehr als doppelt so große Victoria Park an. Obwohl die Planungen für eine Parkanlage bereits unmittelbar nach Kriegsende begannen, wurden diese erst zur Jahrtausendwende konkretisiert. 1999 wurde in der Nähe der weiter östlich gelegenen U-Bahn-Station Mile End eine Fußgängerbrücke über die Mile End Road, welche den Park in Ost-West-Richtung durchschneidet, errichtet. Das als Green Bridge bezeichnete Bauwerk wurde von Piers Gough gestaltet und mit dem Award of Merit der Institution of Civil Engineers ausgezeichnet. Der Mile End Park ist in verschiedene Bereiche untergliedert, die jeweils unterschiedlich gestaltet sind. Von Nord nach Süd sind dies: Play Area – Bereich für Veranstaltungen. Ecology Park – Naturnah gestalteter Bereich, in dem über 800 Pflanzenarten und verschiedene Lebensräume für Tiere zu finden sind, unter anderem ein kleiner See. Besucher können sich an einer Informationsstelle (Ecology Center) informieren. Arts Park – Große Außenfläche mit Kunstwerken, zudem ein Art Pavillon mit wechselnden Ausstellungen. Green Bridge – Begrünte Fußgängerbrücke, die die nördliche mit der südlichen Parkhälfte verbindet. Terraced Gardens – Terrassenartig angelegte und bunt bepflanzte Beete und Teiche. Adventure Park – Dauerhaft eingerichteter Spielplatz. Sports Park – In dem Bereich liegt das Mile End Stadium. Children's Park – Betreuter Spielplatz für jüngere Kinder.

Mile End Park

Mile End Park is a park located in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It is a linear park of some 32 hectares (79 acres), and was created on industrial land devastated by World War II bombing, with the park lying on land to the east of the Regent's Canal. In the north, it is separated from the southern edge of Victoria Park by the Hertford Union Canal. It is open 24 hours a day. A plan existed from the end of the war to create the park, but extensive development did not begin until the end of the millennium. A pedestrian bridge, opened in July 1999, was built over the Mile End Road, which bisects the park, near Mile End tube station. The bridge was designed by Piers Gough. Prior to the park's construction, 193 Grove Road - at the edge of the park - was transformed by sculptor Rachel Whiteread into a cast of its interior. This work won her the Turner Prize in 1993. In 1381, 60,000 Men of Essex camped here and met Richard II at Mile End, on 14 June 1381, during the Peasants' Revolt. The park now consists of a number of elements (running north–south): The Play Arena - for children, The Ecology Park - including a lake, an ecology building, wind turbine and climbing wall, The Arts Park, The Green Bridge, The Terraced Garden, The South Park, Adventure Park, Sports Park - including the Mile End stadium, Kirk's Place and The Children's Park. Nearby are an extreme sports centre and an electric Go kart track. The Ragged School Museum opened in 1990 in three canal side former warehouses in Copperfield Road. It faces the western edge of the park south of Mile End Road. The buildings previously housed Dr Barnado's Copperfield Road Ragged School. The park has been awarded the London First Award, the Green bridge the Institution of Civil Engineers Award of Merit, a commendation at the British Construction Industry Awards and a special commendation from the Prime Minister's Award. The park has an active Friends group. Mile End Stadium Mile End Stadium, situated at the south end of the park, underwent refurbishment which was completed in 2005. A new sport and fitness centre, the Mile End Park Leisure Centre was built adjacent to the Stadium and opened in 2006. It houses a four- court sports hall, two swimming pools (including one competition standard pool), state-of-the-art fitness studios, and a health suite and sauna. The Mile End Climbing Wall is also located in Mile End Park.

Mile End Park

Mile End Park est un parc situé dans le quartier londonien de Tower Hamlets. Il s'agit d'un parc linéaire d'environ 32 hectares qui a été créé sur des terrains industriels dévastés par les bombardements de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Une partie du parc se trouve à Limehouse et Bethnal Green, le parc étant situé sur un terrain à l'est du Regent's Canal. Au nord, il est séparé de l'extrémité sud du Victoria Park par le canal Hertford Union. Il est ouvert 24h / 24. Histoire et description Un plan existait dès la fin de la guerre pour créer le parc, mais le développement n'a commencé qu'à la fin du millénaire. Un pont piétonnier, ouvert en juillet 1999, a été construit sur Mile End Road, qui coupe le parc, près de la station de métro Mile End. Le pont a été conçu par Piers Gough. Avant la construction du parc, le 193 Grove Road - à la lisière du parc - a été transformé par le sculpteur Rachel Whiteread en un moulage de son intérieur. Ce travail lui a valu le prix Turner en 1993. En 1381, 60 000 hommes d'Essex campèrent ici et rencontrèrent Richard II au Mile End, le 14 juin 1381, lors de la révolte des paysans . Le parc se compose désormais d'un certain nombre d'éléments (allant du nord au sud): la Play Arena - pour les enfants, le parc écologique - avec un lac, un bâtiment écologique, une éolienne et un mur d'escalade, le parc des arts, le pont vert, le Jardin en terrasse, The South Park, Adventure Park, Sports Park - y compris le stade Mile End, Kirk's Place et The Children's Park . A proximité se trouvent un centre de sports extrêmes et une piste de karting électrique. Le parc a reçu le London First Award, le Green bridge le Institution of Civil Engineers Award of Merit, une mention élogieuse aux British Construction Industry Awards et une mention spéciale du Prime Minister's Award . Stade du Mile End Le stade Mile End, situé à l'extrémité sud du parc, a subi une rénovation achevée en 2005. Nouveau centre de sport et de fitness, le Mile End Park Leisure Centre a été construit à côté du stade et a ouvert ses portes en 2006.
