 hotel, place with historical importance, 1929_construction

The Grosvenor House Hotel is one of the largest and most famous luxury hotels in London. It is located at Mayfair in the City of Westminster, London. It was built from 1927 to 1929 on the site of the former London residence of the Dukes of Westminster, whose family name was Grosvenor.

The hotel has a pedestrian entrance on Park Lane in Mayfair, though the main entrance is actually located on Park Street. It is an outpost of London's largest cluster of luxury hotels, which is centred on Hyde Park Corner.

The Grosvenor House consists of two buildings standing at 8 floors and 9 floors, and it has 494 rooms, including 74 suites. It underwent a £142,000,000 renovation from 2004 to 2008. It has been managed by the JW Marriott brand since then.

The Grosvenor House also has a fitness centre, a salon, 4 restaurants, 2 bars, the Park Room (at which afternoon tea is served), 29 breakout meeting rooms, and two ballrooms. The Great Room of the Grosvenor House, which is a separate room to the Ballroom, is a venue of several prominent awards evenings, charity balls, and other events, and is one of the largest ballrooms in Europe, with a capacity of about 3,000 (theatre-style) or 1,500 (seated at 150 ten-person round tables).
