The grand seaside hotel dominates the seaside resort landscapes of Britain, with bold, large scale buildings, often magnificent examples of the most fashionable architectural style of the time. From the imposing Victorian gothic Grands, Royals and Imperials, through to the modernist Art Deco 1930s and the Brutalist 1960s, grand seaside hotels are fascinating buildings that reflect the fortunes of those who built and visited them. This book charts the rise, the fall and the rise again of the grand seaside hotel, from their exclusive and luxurious 19th century beginnings, through their 1930s renaissance, decline in the 1970s and their recent, more accessible refurbished form today.
