London: Hotels and Restaurants (1819-)
Unique identifier
Description
The collection consists of concert programmes from concerts and musical events that took place in hotels and restaurants, mostly from the late nineteenth-century to the 1920s. Most venues are hotels or restaurants within hotels, but the types of musical events that are covered include concerts, balls, dinners or banquets and combinations of concerts/dinners. A sizeable amount of the material is from charity concerts or events. Hotels covered include Claridge’s, Hyde Park Hotel, the Ritz and the Savoy. Series of concerts covered include a collection from the Concert-goers’ club concerts at the Langham hotel and a collection of programmes from the London lieder concerts at the Hyde Park hotel. There are also programmes from the 1st world war, including a programme from “War emergency entertainments” which took place at Claridge’s hotel. The programmes are arranged alphabetically by hotel name, missing off the prefix “hotel” from the filing order (e.g. “Hotel Cecil” is filed before “Claridge’s hotel”).
