The couple delve into the history of the hotels and their prominent guests-a virtual who's who of the cr me de la cr me-and also of the buildings. They describe the architecture, d cor, statuary, murals, and public rooms. You'll learn where Winston Churchill was when he learned he'd been named prime minister, where Oscar Wilde was a regular and let's not ignore the royals: Princess Elizabeth, now Queen Elizabeth II, The Prince of Wales who became Edward VII, and theater royalty including a delightful vignette about Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier. \"In reporting on the Savoy Morehouse and Boynton tell readers for whom the great chef Escoffier created dishes: Nellie Melba, Luisa Tetrazzini and Lily Langtry. The last entry is the Queen Mary 2, Why? Because it's a posh floating hotel.\" -Beatrice Williams-Rude, Writer\/Reviewer\/Researcher\/Editor Misadventures of a Would-Be Muse author, Contributor to The Constant Columnist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Boynton, Ward Morehouse III\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1629330752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781629330754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e BearManor Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 104\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Katherine Boynton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46420311998719,"sku":"9781629330754","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7cc19b9-92c5-4293-bac6-69fa2e45ea0e.jpg?v=1734634259","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/londons-greatest-grand-hotels-katherine-boynton-9781629330754","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
