History
The Townhouse has been developed in one of Hull's finest buildings. Queen Victoria commissioned the building for her personal physician Sir James Alderson in 1846. Before it was converted into a hotel in 2006, it had been used as a nightclub.[3]
Many features of the original building have been maintained, such as the sweeping staircase and ornate pillars. Modern new features include an Italian marble reception area.[2]

gollark: As the license says, it is offered with no warranty.
gollark: Look, if people choose to install potatOS, it's their own problem.
gollark: Well, that means potatOS can (theoretically, I haven't implemented code for it) edit your world, so... yay?
