Langtry Manor Hotel
In the 1970s the Howard family renovated the Red House into the Langtry Manor Hotel, and restored many of the original items within the building including some of the original architecture and decor. The hotel complex includes Langtry Lodge (a smaller Victorian house originally owned by Lord Derby) where Edward and Lilly stayed while the Red House were being built. Today the Lodge is used as a conference hall and is licensed to hold wedding and civil ceremonies. In the main hotel there is a small display (the 1877 Collection) which holds memorabilia and artefacts of Lilly Langtry and the manor's history.
In 2006 Langtry Manor again rose to public attention after appearing as the subject of the Five television series The Hotel Inspector. The hotel went onto win the 'Best Small Hotel' award as part of the first Bournemouth Tourism Awards.

Famous quotes containing the word hotel:
“Clean the spittoons.
The steam in hotel kitchens,
And the smoke in hotel lobbies,
And the slime in hotel spittoons:
Part of my life.”
—Langston Hughes (1902–1967)
