THE EXCHANGE
Top hotels today are expected to make available the latest in communication technology to their guests – and it was no different when the Midland Grand was open. Alexander Graham Bell’s historic first transmission of clear speech by telephone was made in1876. This space has now been redesigned into a fantastic event venue suitable for meetings or dinners for up to 30 people.
THE QUARTERS
The Midland Grand employed a small army of staff to carry out basic functions in guest rooms such as stoking the fireplaces, fetching and removing water for washing. The hotel needed many of them to remain on hand through the night, so there was accommodation for staff on the top floor, and also this room. This space has been redesigned into an ideal venue for conferences or private dinners.
