The Midland Hotel is one of the great architectural statements, both nationally and internationally, about the nature of Modernism and modernity. Architect Oliver Hill commissioned modernist-chic artists and designers - Eric Gill, Eric Ravilious, Edward Bawden and Duncan Grant - to create a 'work of art' hotel.
