Comment:  Formerly the George Hotel. A very restrained neo-Georgian design in maroon brick with grey stone details, on an exceptionally important city centre site, it makes its impact its by careful articulation, with a rhythm of three bays, followed by one projecting bay, each marked by a first floor window with pedimented aedicule, leading up to a three bay projecting centre, distinguished by a stone attic. The ground floor is continuously articulated by Tuscan pilasters.
