A triangular building that once housed the Ministry of Defence sits differently on its street corner than a conventional hotel entrance, and a chauffeur who already knows the Whitehall Place side saves you circling Northumberland Avenue. A Corinthia chauffeur is punctual at the right door, whatever else the junction is doing.

Frederick Gordon, known as the Napoleon of the Hotel World, opened the Metropole here in 1885 as the largest hotel in Europe, with 600 rooms across seven storeys. Arthur Conan Doyle was a regular guest, and the pointed, Flatiron-style building later appeared as a fictional MI6 headquarters in the James Bond comic strip published in the Daily Express.
The Ministry of Defence occupied the building for decades before it stood empty from 2004, purchased in 2007 by a Malta, Libya and Dubai consortium and reopened as the Corinthia in 2011. Fittingly, its restored ballroom hosted the official announcement of the Bond film Skyfall the following year.
