THE WORLD OF HOSPiTALiTy 41
Each MGallery has a unique story to tell and
a deep-rooted local history. Victory House’s
19th century terracotta façade is one example
of the hotel’s rich heritage and its status as
an unwavering icon within the ever-evolving
Leicester Square. Designed and built in early
French Renaissance style in 1898, by leading
theatre designer Walter Emden, Victory
House was previously known as Hôtel de
l’Europe, with a Parisian brasserie renowned
in its heyday as a popular dining spot in the
West End.
