Pinuccia, the hotel's 1938 yacht, was built for Mussolini's sailing world cup. Now she takes guests around Falmouth Bay with picnics and wine. Rather better company these days.

1/2 Taking a jolly hour out from writing up the #Warwickshire #HouseHistory to look through historic images of #Llandudno's #GrandHotel and St George's Hotel to include in my online #HotelHistory talk next month for @LlandudnoMuseum

This makes me happy! If you attended my talk on #Brighton's seafront hotels for @WestPierTrust back in January, you might remember me lamenting the lack of Bedford Hotel interior images. Am lamenting no more! #HistoricHotel #HotelHistory #Seaside #Hotel
I love the daily-type tweets from folk such as @Emma_J_Wells, @NicholasKingsle & @artefactual_KW, so am joining in the fun with #DailyHotel! Albany Hotel, Smallbrook Ringway, #Birmingham James Roberts Architects, completed 1962. #HotelHistory #HistoricHotel #1960s #architecture
