Notes
  1. Gobineau designed the original hotel, Dutrou significantly expanded the building from its original two storeys, and Niermans remodeled the public rooms. See Denby, Elaine (2004). Grand Hotels: Reality and Illusion, p. 92. London:Reaktion Books. ISBN 9781861891211. Preview at Google Books. Denby incorrectly gives Dutrou's first names as Jean-Baptiste. His first name was actually Jules. See Folli, Andrea; Merello, Gisella (2004).
