Bristol And Rotonde During Sunset Editorial Image

Designed by Danish architect Tersling for Sir Blundell Mapie this palace offered the luxury to have bathrooms supplied with warmed up watersea. The Bristol was patronized by famous people during winter season: Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia, the Princess of Oldenburg, Queen Marguerite of Italia and many others. As a result of a fire in April 1911 the roofing was completely destroyed and the Bristol lost it looks of an English castle. In 1954 the Bristol was sold and divided into apartments. The Danish architect Tersling designed the Rotonde to create an additional drawing room for the Bristol dancing and tea time. Opened in 1904 the Rotonde has a circular shape with glassed in apses and a dome. From 1914 the Bristol was used as a hospital for the injured from the great war and the Rotonde accommodated the Hadfield Spears surgery ambulance in 1945. The town property since 1982, the Rotonde is nowadays managed by the Lenotre Group.
