Kedleston Hotel

Kedleston Hotel is a Grade II* listed hotel built between 1760 and 1762 by the architect Robert Adam. It is constructed of red brick and features a hipped slate roof with two brick ridge stacks, one of which is truncated. The building has first floor and sill bands, as well as a moulded stone eaves band. It is three storeys high and has a U-plan layout with short single storey wings.

The south elevation consists of a 3-5-3 bay arrangement. The central projecting feature is supported by Doric columns and flanks a tripartite 20th-century window that was originally a door. Above this is an entablature and a partly balustraded parapet with a bracketed pediment. On either side of the central feature, there are two glazing bar sash windows under gauged brick lintels. Above, there are four similar glazing bar sashes on either side of a central glazing bar sash, with five smaller sashes above again, the centre one featuring a moulded surround.

The single storey wings on either side have three bays and coped parapets. Each wing has a central round-arched doorway, which has been converted into a window, with key and impost blocks, and is flanked by glazing bar sashes under gauged brick lintels. The south elevations predominantly feature glazing bar sashes. The rear elevation has a deeply recessed centre that has been filled in on the ground floor with a 20th-century glazed entrance.

Inside, a ground floor room on the west side contains an early 18th-century chimneypiece, which may have been reused from the earlier Kedleston Hall. The hotel was constructed by the Curzons to accommodate visitors to the sulphur baths and Kedleston Hall.
