History

The Midland's history: the 1933 art deco hotel

A listed building, works by Eric Gill and a Poirot filming location.

The hotel opened in July 1933. It was built by the London, Midland and Scottish Railway and designed by the architect Oliver Hill: a curved, three-storey building with its convex side facing the sea and a central circular tower housing the entrance and the spiral staircase.

The sculptor Eric Gill made the two seahorses on the facade and the Neptune and Triton medallion above the staircase, and Eric Ravilious painted the murals inside. Since 1976 it has been a Grade II* listed building.

During the Second World War it was an RAF hospital. Urban Splash restored it from 2006 and the hotel reopened in summer 2008. Today it is part of The Inn Collection Group.

The Midland has also been on screen: The Entertainer, starring Laurence Olivier, was filmed there in 1960, and in 1989 Agatha Christie's Poirot, with David Suchet, mainly for the episode "Double Sin".
