Publisher's Synopsis
The Midland Hotel is one of the great architectural statements, both nationally and internationally, about the nature of Modernism and modernity. Architect Oliver Hill commissioned modernist-chic artists and designers - Eric Gill, Eric Ravilious, Edward Bawden and Duncan Grant - to create a work of art' hotel. For years this art-deco building lay derelict, until developers decided to re-open it. This book is a unique collection of photographs and texts documenting the transformation of this much-loved building.'
