On 26 April 1950, English Heritage designated the hotel a Grade II listed building. which sits between North Albert Street and The Esplanade.

Architecture

The hotel is built of ashlar with slate roofs. It has a curved plan, with a front façade that stretches approximately 300 yd. The north and south wings have two regular storeys with a mansard roof, and dormers providing accommodation on the third floor. The central portion has three full storeys. The north wing, which faces along the Esplanade, curves almost a full 90 degrees, while the south wing is shorter, curving roughly 45 degrees. At the front of the building there is a porte-cochère (porch) supported by fluted Roman Doric columns.
