Totally awesome! If my grandad hadnt made a mistake a long time ago I would have been the heir to Bentalls department store in Kingston upon Thames! This was originally a beautiful art deco building but was GUTTED by unscrupulous developers to to make it into a modern mall. All that survives is some of the exterior. The biggest disaster to happen to a listed building IMHO. Still its amzing when enough money changes hand how a building mysteriously becomes UN LISTED! 🤬😢 Allegedly millions in back handers changed hands for this privelige!
Thank you 🙏 i have always wondered if it was real in the movie
Tolles, charaktervolles Gebäude, das von der Wohlhabenheit einer Stadt zeugt!
Gewiss, Helmut!
beautiful ceiling
If you look at the 4K version on a big screen you can actually see the names of the people referred to baked into the glass - amazing!

Thanks for the video! :)
Our pleasure!
How did you get the tour?
I always thought the "Grand Budapest" was in Budapest, Hungary... They need to restore this historical building and make it useful....
I certainly agree, and hope that their current plans come to fruition!
Grand Budapest Hotel takes place in the fictional country of Zubrowka
That's kind of sad.
Yep, I'm not sure what the current position is. Given the pandemic, I shouldn't think much has changed.😐
