1899 Bombed Carlton Chef Closed Hotels Opened Porch Stands Zealand 1907
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the Carlton Hotel Porch, a historic landmark that once stood proudly in Britain. The Carlton Hotel opened its doors in 1899 and quickly became renowned for its luxurious accommodations and exquisite dining experiences, thanks to the legendary chef Escoffier at its helm.
Sadly, the hotel's glory days came to an abrupt end in 1939 when it was bombed during World War II. Despite efforts to restore it, the damage was too severe, and the decision was made to demolish the building. Today, New Zealand House stands on the site where this iconic hotel once stood.
The image of this elegant porch serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era when travel was synonymous with luxury and sophistication. It is a snapshot of history frozen in time, showcasing not just a building but also a piece of cultural heritage that has since been lost.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back to an age when hotels like the Carlton were symbols of opulence and refinement. It is a testament to human ingenuity and resilience that despite being reduced to rubble, memories of such places continue to live on through images like these from Mary Evans Prints Online.
