Regent Palace Hotel, Grade II listed hotel in City of Westminster, England

The Regent Palace Hotel occupies a triangular block formed by Glasshouse, Brewer, and Sherwood Streets, rising nine floors near Piccadilly Circus.

Opening in 1915 with 1,028 bedrooms, the Regent Palace Hotel established itself as Europe's largest hotel, featuring communal bathrooms throughout the building.

Canadian airmen frequented the Regent Palace Hotel during the 1940 Battle of Britain, leading to its nickname 'the Canadian Riding School'.

The building closed as a hotel in 2006 and transformed into Air W1, with lower floors now containing Brasserie Zedel restaurant.

The Victoria and Albert Museum preserved the hotel's entrance as an example of period design after architect Oliver Percy Bernard's 1930s interior work.
