Guoman Charing Cross Hotel is a grade II listed
Victorian railway hotel dating back from 1865.
In front of the hotel is a 70 feet replica of
the original Eleanor Cross which stood there
in 1291 to mark the funeral procession of
Queen Eleanor. The cross was commissioned
by the hotel and erected in 1865.
Since 1865, the Charing Cross Hotel has
stood as a monument to the power and
confidence of the Victorian era. Its grand scale
and magnificent architecture
hark back to a more genteel age.
