The development of the hotel was financed by Laurance S. Rockefeller and it was designed by Edward Charles Bassett for the firm Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. It opened in 1965. Original plans were to use architect John Carl Warnecke and build a series of small cottages, but those plans were abandoned.
By 1904 the hotel was such an enormous success that the blocks on the Strand were added offering a grand new entrance and reception area also designed by Thomas Edward Collcutt, and the American Bar and Savoy Grill moved into this new part of the hotel.
