It's striking, no doubt about that. And the interiors have style and variety of which modern hotels can only dream. It has stories too - Mr Rolls met Mr Royce there and look how well that turned out.
You can hear the 'but', can't you? I like to explore any place I visit, get a feel for it, find something out, not just see a hotel. So Manchester: I'm sorry, I missed you - the difficulties of travelling for work. The conference I attended just wasn't postcard material.
However, autumn is coming and I am plotting a trip to see some colours. I also have a few events for Park Life coming up. You can see details of those here.

It looks all rather grand.
Built at a terminus in the days when train travel was glamorous.

That's a nice little wyvern curled up in its hole. I love all Victorian architecture - they just couldn't do ugly the way modern architects do.
Thanks for supplying the identification, Lexi. Your knowledge of mythological creatures surpasses mine!
The building is nice, I just felt bad about not seeing Manchester.
