I lived in a "penthouse apartment" in The Montpellier Hotel in late 1969-70,the views across the bay at night were a joy to behold. It was no longer active as an hotel,but was let out in flats and bedsits.My long lasting memories,apart from frolics with some lady friends,was the over powering smell of boiled cabbage from the ground floor flat of the caretakers.It was also very handy for The Clarence!

Hi Tatey,the Hotel was where the newish flats are at the eastern end of the crescent on the sea-ward side.Can'remember the number unfortunately.Such a shame they were demolished.
I noticed the building opposite,on the junction with Albion Street has also "been improved" by being replaced.If i recall correctly, the cellar was once a club, The Witches Cauldron?
Hope this helps you some.
