Carlton Hotel, London (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Carlton Hotel, London was a luxury hotel that operated from 1899 to 1940. It was designed by the architect C. J. Phipps as part of a larger development that included the rebuilding of Her Majesty's Theatre, which is adjacent to the hotel site. The Carlton was originally run by the Swiss hotelier C sar Ritz, with Auguste Escoffier as the head chef. In its early days it was one of London's most fashionable hotels and drew some custom away from the Savoy Hotel, which Ritz and Escoffier had previously managed.
