The 404-room hotel completed a $150 million renovation[5] in November 2006. The building also houses the May Fair Theatre, which opened in 1963.[6][7]

In 2005, a blue plaque was unveiled to commemorate dance band leader Ambrose, who performed regularly at the hotel.[8] Eric Parkin was a cocktail pianist there in the 1940s.

In June 2019, the hotel joined the Radisson Collection brand.[9]
