The Grand Elysian Hotel

The Grand Elysian is a large, opulent hotel that opened in London's Bloomsbury district in 1923. On the surface, it is the pinnacle of Roaring Twenties luxury, boasting a mix of Victorian and Art Deco architecture, modern amenities, and a reputation that attracts the wealthiest members of society. However, beneath its glamorous facade, the hotel is a place of growing dread. It was founded by Sir Alistair Finch, an eccentric industrialist obsessed with esoteric lore and ancient artifacts, who mysteriously disappeared right before the hotel opened. The staff share hushed whispers about the building's unsettling nature: its architecture seems to defy logic with corridors that feel impossibly long, strange humming noises emanate from the walls, and a palpable sense of unease permeates certain rooms.
