The Grand Regency Hotel - also called The Regency Hotel.[1] Although this was also owned by Roarke (with the ownership held by one of his subsidiaries)[2], it wasn’t an urban castle like the Roarke Palace Hotel. It was bigger, sleeker, and geared more for the upper-end business clientele than the fashionable rich.[1]
It had sixty-eight floors, fifty-six of which were guest room levels. Others held offices, shops, restaurants, clubs, conference centers and ballrooms. On the seventh floor was a casual bar/restaurant and swimming pool, which was open-air during good weather. The top two levels held eight penthouse suites, and were only accessible by private elevator. The health club on level floor was open to all guests and registered members. Ballrooms were on floors nine and ten, with exterior and interior entries. There are security cameras in all the public areas.[3]
The Terrace Room, named for its wide, tiled terrace was used to host the charity function for the Canal Street Clinic, at which Eve Dallas laid a trap for Julianna Dunne in Reunion in Death.[4] A floating staircase led up to the second level.[5]
