…From previous bread.

 

Corinthia Hotel London

…a luxury hotel and former British Government building.

When the government redeveloped buildings at Whitehall Gardens in mid-1936, they leased the entire hotel for £300,000pa, to provide alternate office accommodation initially for the Ministry of Labour and the Ministry of Transport, and later for the Air Ministry and the Ministry of Defence.

 

In the build-up to World War II, room 424 became the first home for MI9 and its sub-division the Special Operations Executive.

From the mid-60s until 1992 it housed the bulk of the Defence Intelligence Staff, the remainder of the analysts and the DIS central staff being sited in the MoD Main Building.

 

2007 the Metropole Building and the adjoining 10 Whitehall Place were acquired for a sum of £130M by a consortium owned equally by Malta's IHI plc and two of its principal shareholders, the Libyan Foreign Investment Company and Nakheel Hotels of Dubai.

 

A lengthy sequence in the 2018 thriller Red Sparrow was filmed both inside and outside the hotel.
