Following the jam session at Zoot Money's house, Chandler and Hendrix checked into the Hyde Park Towers Hotel, in the Bayswater area of London.
Hendrix wrote Stone Free and Love Or Confusion whilst staying here.
I have no idea what grade the hotel was in the 60's, but today it's a 3 Star. On tripadvisor.com holidaymakers give the hotel very mixed reviews. There seems to an almost 50/50 split between those who consider it to be a filthy hovel and those who consider it to be pleasant enough for the price.
It has to be said that some of the hotel's own publicty photographs do give the impression that the interior decor hasn't changed since 1966!
You can find Hyde Park Towers Hotel at 47-51 Inverness Terrace, Bayswater, London.
