FAIRMONT THE NORFOLK<br />
If you’re looking for a place with history,<br />
then The Norfolk, as it started out in 1904,<br />
is it. Sitting on the Lord Delamere Terrace,<br />
one can still imagine what it must have been<br />
like for a guest in the early days, drinking a<br />
beer overlooking green wilderness that has<br />
inevitably given way to the city spread.The<br />
then Jewish-owned hotel went through huge<br />
upheaval in 1980. These days, it’s a rare,<br />
high-class idyll in a quieter part of the centre,<br />
and hosts two excellent restaurants. Location:<br />
