Old Swan Hotel, Georgian hotel in Harrogate, England
The Old Swan Hotel displays a white facade with large windows, revolving doors, and polished wooden floors across its multiple Victorian reception rooms.
The establishment began as Swan Inn in 1777 and became the first building in Harrogate to install electric lighting through a steam-powered DC generator.
The hotel gained international attention in December 1926 when mystery writer Agatha Christie was discovered there during her temporary disappearance.
The property contains 136 bedrooms, multiple function spaces for events, and the Wedgwood Restaurant with an original glass ceiling.
The hotel operated its own farm on Penny Pot Lane to supply fresh ingredients to the kitchen during the nineteenth century.
