The building has stunning classical architecture in the Beaux-Arts style, which is also the style in which Buckingham Palace and many of Britain’s and the world’s most elitist buildings were built.
All the standards of noble architecture are met – high ceilings that give freedom and spaciousness, large, beautiful windows that make the rooms light and comfortable, overlooking the square, and from the upper floors with an amazing view of Dover Castle and the sea.
Another element is the thick walls, which keep the heat in winter and give a pleasant coolness in summer. In this work of architectural art, the smallest detail has been thought of – how light should fall, where the fireplaces with live fires should be located, how the living space should be laid out, the size of the reception hall, where the servants should live, and where the entrance to them should be, so as not to disturb the householders in any way.
