The hotel is located opposite Warwick Avenue Underground station and Little Venice. HistoryThe hotel started life as two private Victorian residences in 1865 before being turned into a boarding school in 1880. In 1886 it became the Warrington Lodge Medical and Surgery Home for Ladies.[1] The mathematician Alan Turing was born there in 1912.[2] In 1935 the hospital was converted into The Esplanade Hotel. Sigmund Freud stayed at the hotel during the summer of 1938 when he was renovating his house in Hampstead. To honour his stay the hotel renamed the best suite the "Sigmund Freud suite". In 1944 the hotel was bought by the Richards family and its name was changed to the Colonnade Hotel. The hotel changed hands again in 1998 when it was purchased and renovated by current owners The Eton Collection. Frequent and famous guests include Christian Slater, Snow Patrol, Liam Gallagher, Ian Botham, Manic Street Preachers, Dayle Haddon, John Adams (composer), Andrew Davis and Woody Harrelson. The hotel's lift is reputed to be one of the oldest operating lifts in the UK. LocationThe hotel's postcode is W9 1ER. The nearest London Underground station is Warwick Avenue on the Bakerloo line.
