My ggrandfather Peter Christopher Garraty worked at the Premier Hotel (unrelated to the current Premier Inns chain) which was located at 120 Southampton Row, Russell Square. The hotel was sold in 1911 and I expect the name was changed at that time. I have a postcard image of the Hotel's facade as well as a postcard addressed to Peter at the hotel's address. Census records indicate that Peter Garraty spent most of his life working at several London hotels both as a clerk and a waiter.
My challenge is that internet searches containing the word "hotel" tend to focus on contemporary accommodations, and I am unable to find any history of the Premier Hotel. If anyone knows of a source for this hotel's history (date built/founded, description, hotel records, etc.), I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you.
