Where ever this hotel is, it’s full of dubious characters…īut it’s the hotel which shines – the sense of place and time, the sense of a time gone by, a time of elegance and understated elegance where you dressed for dinner and hotels were a sign of luxury and relaxation. Flemings hotel in Mayfair is also a hotel of this era where you can imagine her staying. And where you can sweep along its long corridors with your posh bags as you come in from the capital’s shops.īertram’s, the fictional hotel featured in the story, is thought to have been inspired by Brown’s Hotel in London, as this was apparently the favoured hotel of Agatha Christie herself. Where nostalgia and times gone by are evoked in every nook and cranny. The one with wooden, Edwardian features, elegant and of a different era. St Betram’s hotel is just the kind of hotel you want to visit when you stay in the capital. But then this is an Agatha Christie novel so you know it’s not going to be without its murderous themes. She’s normally quite settle in St Mary Mead, well apart from the odd murder of course but this trip to London really was going to be a nice break away from it all.
