Description
The grand seaside hotels that dominate Britain's coastal resorts are a testament to the country's rich architectural heritage. Emerging in the 18th century, these imposing structures reached their golden age in the second half of the 19th century, when luxury hotels were a must-have for successful seaside resorts.
From their exclusive and luxurious beginnings to their renaissance in the interwar years and recent refurbishments, these grand hotels reflect the fortunes of those who built and visited them. This book takes you on a journey through the rise, fall, and modern-day resurgence of the grand seaside hotel across the UK.
Part of the Britain's Heritage series, this book provides a definitive introduction to the history of seaside hotels in all their variety. Perfect for anyone interested in architecture, history, or travel, it offers a fascinating insight into these magnificent buildings that continue to captivate audiences today.
