Description
Cresta House, originally built as the Royal Hotel in 1887, is located on a corner site at the junction of Darley Street and Upper Piccadilly. This four-storey building, with attics, is constructed from sandstone ashlar and features Jacobean architectural details. The design includes a canted corner and adjacent shaped gables. The windows are mullioned and transomed, adorned with pulvinated friezes and shaped pediments. The two gabled bays have full height arches that frame the windows vertically. On Darley Street, there is a narrow three-window section with first floor windows set in pilastered arcading, topped by a heavy bracket cornice and an aedicule window above. The right-hand part of the elevation has six windows, with a tripartite grouping on the first floor. The shop front displays a "Cresta" Regency style. This building occupies an important corner site.
