Forthcoming Events

Meet the Author - Neil Kirby

Celebrity Hotel by Neil Kirby

Go behind the scenes with stars and staff at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel. Join us for an evening of true inside gossip, scandal and intrigue.

In Celebrity Hotel, Neil Kirby, a former General Manager of the Grosvenor, looks back at his extraordinary rise from below-the stairs washer-up to bespoke-suited manager and, in doing so, lifts the lid on this formidable institution. What emerges is an entertaining, highly amusing portrait of two contrasting worlds – the ‘below stairs’ world of the hundreds of pageboys, chambermaids, valets and porters who keep the hotel’s cogs turning and the exclusive, ‘above stairs’ one of the wellheeled, spoilt and super-rich. In 2005 Neil bought his own multimillion pound hotel in Eastbourne.
