Hilton Nottingham was originally built on the site next to the old Nottingham Victoria Station which opened in 1900. Once the railway station was nearing completion, a meeting was held in July 1899 between the Nottingham Joint Station Committee and Sir John Blundell Maple Bart MP in which an agreement was signed for the Maple company to build a hotel attached to the as-yet unnamed station. The Hotel opened in 1903, three years after the Victoria Station was completed, and as the station now had an official name, naturally the hotel would follow suit, and proudly bore the name ‘Victoria Station Hotel’. Sometime during the latter part of the Victoria Station’s life (after 1950) the word ‘station’ was dropped from the hotel’s name, and it became the ‘Victoria Hotel’.After the station had been demolished in 1967, the Victoria Hotel opened a railway-themed pub in the basement, called the ‘Whistle Stop’. Seating in the Platform Bar was made up of an array of luggage trollies

and milk churns, and the room was adorned with railway posters. There was also the Waiting Room Bar and buffet, and the Carriage Bar.In honour of the site’s rich history, Hilton Nottingham has embraced this theme throughout the hotel,featuring bespoke Nottingham City artwork throughout the newly renovated guest rooms. Hilton Nottingham is located in the heart of the city, next to the Victoria Centre. The hotel
