Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Grand Hotel, Brighton The Grand Hotel is a Victorian hotel in Brighton, it was designed by architect John Whichcord, and built in 1864. It is also known as the De Vere Grand, but is more colloquially known by locals as simply The Grand.
It was originally built for members of the upper classes visiting Brighton and remains one of the most expensive hotels in the town. Amongst its advance engineering features at the time of construction was the "Vertical Omnibus", a hydraulically powered lift operated thanks to "Monster cisterns" in the roof. This was the first lift built in the UK outside London where only two others had been installed. The building itself is an example of Italian influence in Victorian architecture In October 1984 the hotel was severely damaged when the provision IRA planted a bomb intended to kill the Prime Minister and members of the British Cabinet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Hotel_(Brighton) |
