:''For other hotels with a similar name see Crown Hotel (disambiguation)'' The Crown Spa Hotel (formerly the Crown Hotel) is a large hotel in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. This is Scarborough's first purpose-built hotel, completed in May 1844 and opened for business on 10 June 1845.〔(Crown Spa Hotel )〕 It overlooks the town's South Bay and is privately owned by a local family. The hotel was designed by the architect John Gibson,〔(The Ridings of Yorkshire )〕 and when completed in 1844, was one of the first purpose-built hotels in the world, as well as the first purpose-built hotel in Scarborough. John Gibson chose a site overlooking the South Bay Beach and North Sea Views and designed the hotel on a Greco-Roman theme. The hotel's heyday was arguably during Victorian times, when wealthy society made up the establishment's clientele. The hotel has been featured in television and film, chiefly being ''Little Voice'', ''Heartbeat'', ''The Royal'', the Acid Bath Murders and many more. The hotel lost its four-star rating in the 1990s, and then put up for sale in 1999. The present owners, who had bought the Crown Hotel in February 2000, made a commitment to re-establish the hotel as a four-star hotel. In 2003, the hotel was renamed to the Crown Spa Hotel, to reflect the new facilities within the hotel. In May 2008, after months of hard work and dedication to service, the hotel was awarded the four-star status by the AA.〔(Crown Spa Hotel )〕 ==Planning issues== The hotel has since 2003 featured in controversial plans〔(Scarborough Evening News )〕 for expansion to 160 bedrooms, 24 additional bedrooms on the roof, double glazing for rear rooms and plans for new event suites. In May 2007 the hotel upset nearby residents by putting up a gazebo and decking. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Crown Spa Hotel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
