In February 2007 it was confirmed that author J. K. Rowling finished the "Harry Potter" series, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" at this hotel. Rowling left a signed statement written on a marble bust of Hermes in her room saying; "JK Rowling finished writing "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" in this room (552) on 11th Jan 2007". The room has since been renamed the "J.K. Rowling Suite," and the marble bust has been placed in a glass display case to protect it. The suite, priced at nearly £1,000 per night, is a pilgrimage site for Harry Potter fans.
