Abstract:		 In June 2015 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording (Historic England Level 3) of the former Westland Hotel, 154 Bayswater Road, Westminster, London (NGR TQ 25642 80580). The work was commissioned by Gleeds Management Services on behalf of their client. The site is situated on the north side of Bayswater Road, which runs east - west, alongside the northern edge of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. The site occupies a rectangular plot, with its curtilage dominated by two buildings which form the eastern-most limit of a late-19th-century terrace. The two buildings possess a shared front garden, and work yards to the rear. The buildings reflect a notable period of architect-designed development within the Palace Court area - a period characterised by ostentatious displays of wealth and fashion in Queen Anne Revival and Aesthetic styles, or reinterpretations of Tudor-esque in the case of the Yellow House. The later repurposing of the residences as flats or hotels is very typical of such large houses during the early-20th-century, as such large properties became costly and inefficient to operate as singular residences - and as their wealthy owners moved toward the suburbs of cities. Though the Yellow House has been largely gutted, it retains a number of original features - most notable of which are the windows and fireplace in the former Boudoir. Within 6 Palace Court a greater number of original features have been retained - including fireplaces, architraves, windows, and the oak staircases
