The Imperial Hotel at Great Malvern, 1862: A Vision of Elegance and Grandeur This photograph, taken in 1862, showcases the majestic Imperial Hotel in Great Malvern, a true architectural marvel of its time. Situated on the east side of the West-Midland Railway, this magnificent building was designed and overseen by E. W. Elmslie. The Imperial Hotel boasts a striking Continental Gothic style, constructed from red brick with Bath and Forest stone dressings, at a grand cost of £25,000. The structure includes a subbasement for heating apparatus and cellaring. The basement houses a kitchen of baronial character, along with the usual domestic offices, baths, and separate entrances for ladies and gentlemen. The south front of the hotel features a large oriel window, three stories high, adorned with elegant tracery, and a tower 146ft. high, containing the grand staircase. The top story of the tower is intended for a belvedere and summer smoking-room, offering breathtaking views. The roofs are covered with green and purple slates laid in bands, and the ridges, formed of the same, have an ornamental iron cresting. The boundary walls are built of blue lias stone, with Bath stone dressings, and finished with ornamental iron railings. The gate piers are surmounted with ornamental lamps, and the gates are of wrought iron, richly foliated. The Imperial Hotel was not only a place of lodging but also a symbol of elegance and sophistication, reflecting the grandeur and prosperity of the Victorian era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of a bygone era.
