[1] Rising 61 metres with 17 stories, the building was formerly used as the headquarters of the Bristol and West until early 2006.

[2] In the early 2000s plans to demolish and replace with a 23-storey building, the tallest in Bristol, were proposed, but rejected.

[3] Since then, major renovations have been carried out, including re-cladding in blue-tinted glass panels of different shades to give the illusion the building merges into the sky.

[4] After several delays the building reopened in May 2009 as a 176-room hotel operated by Radisson SAS.
