The first two (the Red Cow and the Ibis) and the seventh (City West) are currently not open to the public, and the Ibis only had a residents bar licence anyway; but the other four are fully trading; and despite having been at events in some of them, I'd never drunk in any of them.
So, with the help of a driver, I got all four done in fairly rapid succession.
First up is the Louis Fitzgerald, a very rare case of a hotel named after a living owner - excluding family surnames on some hotels that is. Built beside his longer standing Joel's restaurant, there is a further restaurant in the lobby here; but there is also a normal bar.
Louis has an admitted reputation as hoarder/collector, and it seems the hotel he's named after himself gets the best goodies - his GB£80,000 1904 Wolseley 6hp
This is the last Fitzgerald Group premises for me, for now - Louis is likely to add some more.
