For #ThrowbackThursday here's a shot from my very first full day in America back in 2011. We were staying near Reston, Virginia and went for a walk around the city early in the morning. I liked the autumnal colours and symmetry on this Art Deco era building.

A nearly-symmetrical portrait orientation image looking at the wall of a building on a street. A little setting of brick-tiled pavement with a yellow-painted kerb is at the bottom of the picture and there's a small, raised, brick-lined area of soil with small shrubbery at the bottom left. At ground level on the building wall there are doors either side of a thick stone column. The doors broadly match, with warm, varnished wood tones on their thick frames and large panes of glass mostly rendered black with very little reflection. A fixed blue-grey awning is over both doors with a section of lighter, orange-yellow wood above. The thick column in the centre between the two doors is squared off, with darker, mottled marble at the bottom giving way to large, white blocks of stone through which a rectangular, central spine of mottled marble stretches up. The white blocks then form a T-shape across the top of the image as a whole to complete the symmetric look.

"The Rainbow Crosswalk” in #MiamiBeach was installed in 2018. Made from terrazzo pavers, arranged in an #ArtDeco pattern at the intersection of Ocean Drive and 12th Street in the Historic Art Deco District of #SouthBeach. Pastel-colured by day and glowing gently at night.

On Sunday, Florida Department of Transportation began removing the #pride-themed crosswalk. It's the latest in a series of removals of rainbow crosswalks by extemist anti-#LGBT Governor #RonDeSantis.

Swansea’s Grand Hotel set for £35m transformation with rooftop bar and 55 new bedrooms

A landmark by the station

The Grand Hotel, which stands opposite Swansea railway station, has been a familiar sight for generations of travellers arriving in the city.

Built in the 1930s, the hotel has seen Swansea through wartime, post‑industrial decline and more recent regeneration. It underwent a significant refurbishment in 2004, but this latest project is by far the most ambitious in its history.

What the plans include

Hotel owners have confirmed a £35m redevelopment programme that will:

Create 55 new luxury bedrooms
Add a rooftop bar and kitchen with views across the city
Introduce a residents’ lounge, new dining rooms and a state‑of‑the‑art kitchen
Install a gymnasium
Feature a green living wall and roof as part of the design

A huge banner has already been erected on the side of the building announcing: “The Grand Hotel Swansea redevelopment. Coming 2026.”

Business as usual

Despite the scale of the works, the hotel has confirmed it will remain open throughout the refurbishment. Management say popular services, including its well‑known Sunday lunch, will continue without interruption.

A statement from the hotel described the project as “a very exciting time here at The Grand Hotel Swansea”, adding: “We are delighted to announce the start of our development to deliver an additional 55 luxury bedrooms, a rooftop bar and kitchen, residents’ lounge, dining rooms, state‑of‑the‑art kitchen, gymnasium, green living wall and roof, plus plenty of surprises. We are out of the ground and looking forward to a busy 14 months with a grand opening in December 2026.”

A hotel with history

The Grand Hotel has long been part of Swansea’s story. In its early decades it was a popular stopover for visitors arriving by train, and photographs from the 1960s show it as a bustling city landmark. Its fortunes dipped in the late 20th century before the 2004 refurbishment restored much of its character.

Now, with Swansea undergoing a wave of regeneration projects — from the new arena to the city centre redevelopment — the Grand Hotel’s transformation is being seen as another sign of confidence in the city’s future.

Part of a wider High Street revival

The Grand Hotel’s £35m redevelopment is the latest in a series of major investments reshaping Swansea’s High Street and surrounding city centre.

Palace Theatre – Once derelict for nearly two decades, the Grade II listed theatre has been transformed in a £10m project into offices and events space, with Neath‑based R & M Williams winning UK Master Builder of the Year for the restoration. Read more
Urban Village & Urban Corner – Housing association Beacon (formerly Coastal Housing) has already delivered its Urban Village development at the top of High Street, mixing apartments, creative workspaces and retail. Work is now under way on the next phase, the Urban Corner scheme on The Strand, which will add 15 affordable apartments and a shipping‑container commercial unit Read more.
Student accommodation boom – Several major office‑to‑student conversions have been completed, including the Ty Nant building on High Street, now a 350‑bed student block coverage here, alongside other redevelopments on Princess Way and the landmark Mariner Street towers.

Together, these projects are transforming High Street from a corridor of derelict buildings into a hub of living, learning and leisure. The Grand Hotel’s transformation — with its rooftop bar, new bedrooms and green design — is set to become another anchor in this regeneration story. The redevelopment is expected to be completed by December 2026, with the hotel promising to share updates as the project progresses.
