History One of the town’s landmark features and instantly recognisable on the skyline, the Britannia Grand Hotel, Scarborough, has dominated Scarborough’s South Bay since 1867.  The designer Cuthbert Brodrick designed the hotel around the theme of time, four towers for the four seasons, twelve floors for the months, 52 chimneys for the weeks of the year and originally 365 rooms for the days of the year.  The original splendour of the hotel can still be seen today.  The main staircase has maintained its original design having been constructed to allow the passage of ladies in crinolines.  Among the famous people who have stayed at the Grand were Winston Churchill, author James Herriott, the Beatles and Gracie Fields.
