Just 10-minutes ’ walk from the 278-room hotel , which opened to guests in May , is Wilton ’ s Music Hall , a Grade II listed building and the oldest grand music hall in the world . Beginning life as houses , shops and a pub in 1690 , before being turned into a Victorian music hall in 1859 , it was designed to bring the glamour and entertainment of the West End to working class people in the East End .
