Wikipedia (
visit link) informs us:
"The Hotel Russell was built in 1898 by the architect, Charles Fitzroy Doll. It is distinctively clad in decorative thé-au-lait ("tea with milk") terracotta, and was based on the Château de Madrid on the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. The hotel's restaurant, which is named after the architect, is said to be almost identical to the RMS Titanic's dining room which he also designed.
The life-size statues of four British Queens above the main entrance were the work of sculptor Henry Charles Fehr."
