Granville Terrace St Clu Hotel

The St. Clu Hotel, built in either 1873 or 1883 for Edmund Davis, is a hotel located on Victoria Parade in Ramsgate. The building is constructed of stock brick, with some parts rendered, and features a slate roof. It stands four storeys high with an attic, showcasing a rusticated ground floor and first and second floors. There are cill bands and a cornice at the attic storey, along with a projecting gable on the right side and three gabled semi-dormers, which include paired round-headed openings and a stack to the right.

On the third floor, there are eight sash windows with moulded surrounds, while the first and second floors have French windows set within a two-storey verandah that is panelled and fully glazed, supported by scrolled piers, which is an original feature of the hotel. The ground floor has three canted bays, with a sash window on the left and a recessed area on the centre right, along with a glazed porch from the 20th century to the left.

The right side of the building features two three-storey canted bays and three gabled half-dormers, maintaining similar architectural details. Originally named Granville Terrace, the hotel was part of the redevelopment of the Mount Albion House estate, much of which was developed by Edward Welby Pugin for himself and for Edmund Davis. Although it is believed that Pugin may have designed this building, its style is quite different from his other works in the area. The hotel was originally twice its current length, but half of it was destroyed in 1928. Davis was also responsible for laying out and developing the Granville Marina below the cliffs.
