DETAILS OF ITEM: Cheltenham (/'t??ltn?m/), also known as Cheltenham Spa, and sometimes called "the Garden Town of England",[2] is a spa town and borough on the edge of the Cotswolds in the county of Gloucestershire, England. Cheltenham became known as a health and holiday spa town resort, following the discovery of mineral springs in 1716, and claims to be the most complete Regency town in Britain.[3] The town hosts several festivals of culture, often featuring nationally and internationally famous contributors and attendees; they include the Cheltenham Literature Festival, the Cheltenham Jazz Festival, the Cheltenham Science Festival, the Cheltenham Music Festival, Cheltenham International Film Festival, the Cheltenham Cricket Festival, and the Cheltenham Food & Drink Festival.[4][5] In steeplechase horse racing, the Gold Cup is the main event of the Cheltenham Festival, held every March. Cheltenham stands on the small River Chelt, which rises nearby at Dowdeswell and runs through the town on its way to the Severn.[6] It was first recorded in 803, as Celtan hom; the meaning has not been resolved with certainty, but latest scholarship concludes that the first element preserves a Celtic noun cilta, 'steep hill', here referring to the Cotswold scarp; the second element may mean 'settlement' or 'water-meadow'.[7] As a royal manor, it features in the earliest pages of the Gloucestershire section of Domesday Book[8] where it is named Chintenha[m]. The town was awarded a market charter in 1226. Though little remains of its pre-spa history, Cheltenham has been a health and holiday spa town resort since the discovery of mineral springs there in 1716. Captain Henry Skillicorne (1678–1763), is credited with being the first entrepreneur to recognise the opportunity to exploit the mineral springs.[9] The retired "master mariner" became co-owner of the property containing Cheltenham's first mineral spring upon his 1732[10] marriage to Elizabeth Mason.[11] Her father, William Mason, had done little in his lifetime to promote the healing properties of the mineral water apart from limited advertising and building a small enclosure over the spring.[9] Skillicorne's wide travels as a merchant had prepared him to see the potential lying dormant on this inherited property. After moving to Cheltenham in 1738, he immediately began improvements intended to attract visitors to his spa. He built a pump to regulate the flow of water and erected an elaborate well-house complete with a ballroom and upstairs billiard room to entertain his customers. The beginnings of Cheltenham's tree-lined promenades and the gardens surrounding its spas were first designed by Captain Skillicorne with the help of "wealthy and traveled" friends who understood the value of relaxing avenues. The area's walks and gardens had views of the countryside, and soon the gentry and nobility from across the county were enticed to come and investigate the beneficial waters of Cheltenham's market town spa.[11] The visit of George III with the queen and royal princesses in 1788 set a stamp of fashion on the spa.[12] The spa waters can still be sampled at the Pittville Pump Room, built for this purpose and completed in 1830;[13] it is a centrepiece of Pittville, a planned extension of Cheltenham to the north, undertaken by Joseph Pitt, who laid the first stone 4 May 1825.[14] Cheltenham's success as a spa town is reflected in the railway station, which is still called Cheltenham Spa, and spa facilities in other towns that were inspired by or named after it.[15] Alice Liddell and Lewis Carroll were regular visitors to a house in Cudnall Street, Charlton Kings – a suburb of Cheltenham. This house was owned by Alice Liddell's grandparents, and still contains the mirror, or looking glass, that was purportedly the inspiration for Lewis Carroll's novel Through the Looking-Glass, published in 1871.[16] Horse racing began in Cheltenham in 1815, and became a major national attraction after the establishment of the Festival in 1902.[17] Whilst the volume of tourists visiting the spa has declined, the racecourse attracts tens of thousands of visitors to each day of the festival each year,[18] with such large numbers of visitors having a significant impact on the town. In the Second World War, the United States Army Services of Supply, European Theatre of Operations established its primary headquarters at Cheltenham under the direction of Lt. Gen. John C. H. Lee, with the flats of the Cheltenham Racecourse[19] becoming a giant storage depot for countless trucks, jeeps, tanks and artillery pieces. Most of this materiel was reshipped to the continent for and after the D-Day invasion. Lee and his primary staff had offices and took residence at Thirlestaine Hall in Cheltenham.[20] On 1 April 1974, under the Local Government Act 1972, the borough of Cheltenham was merged with Charlton Kings urban district to form the non-metropolitan district of Cheltenham. Four parishes—Swindon Village, Up Hatherley, Leckhampton and Prestbury—were added to the borough of Cheltenham from the borough of Tewkesbury in 1991.[21] The first British jet aircraft prototype, the Gloster E.28/39, was manufactured in Cheltenham. Manufacturing started in Hucclecote near Gloucester, but was later moved to Regent Motors in Cheltenham High Street (now the Regent Arcade), considered a location safer from bombing during the Second World War. Le Touquet-Paris-Plage (French pronunciation: ?[l? tuk? pa?i pla?]; Picard: Ech Toutchet-Paris-Plache; West Flemish: 't Oekske, older Dutch: Het Hoekske), commonly referred to as Le Touquet (/l? t?ke?/), is a commune near Étaples, in the Pas-de-Calais department, northern France.[3] It has a population of 4,227 (2019),[4] but welcomes up to 250,000 people during the summer.[5] Located on the Opal Coast, south of Boulogne-sur-Mer, on the shoreline of the English Channel, the seaside resort has been nicknamed the "Garden of the English Channel" (French: Jardin de la Manche), the "Pearl of the Opal Coast" (French: Perle de la Côte d'Opale), the "Sports Paradise" (French: Paradis des sports) or the "Four Seasons Resort" (French: Station des quatre saisons). The city bears the scars of wounds inflicted during World War II by the construction of the Atlantic Wall, the planting of mines prior to the German withdrawal and intensive Allied bombings. Nevertheless, part of the architectural heritage of Le Touquet was left intact. A number of unique villas have been preserved that evoke the seaside architecture of the Roaring Twenties and the 1930s. Although nowadays dominated by buildings from the 1950s to the 1980s, Le Touquet also possesses an important architectural heritage of Anglo-Norman style as well as twenty-one buildings protected as historical monuments, which make it the most awarded French seaside resort.

It is located in the St. Georg district, between the Außenalster lake and the Hamburg Hauptbahnhof. The Hotel Atlantic was constructed at a cost of 14 million gold marks and was designed to house passengers on transatlantic ocean liners of the Hamburg America Line (HAPAG) and the Hamburg South America Line.[1] It was opened on 2 May 1909 by Chancellor Bernhard von Bülow and HAPAG general director Albert Ballin. Following the end of World War II, it was requisitioned by the British Armed Forces and used as their Hamburg headquarters from 1945 to 1950. The hotel reopened on 1 March 1950.[2] In 1957, the hotel was sold to the Kempinski chain.[3] In 1994, German financier Dieter Bock sold Kempinski Hotels, but maintained ownership of the Hotel Atlantic.[4] In 1997, parts of the James Bond movie Tomorrow Never Dies were filmed in the hotel. Owner Dieter Bock choked to death in the hotel on May 12, 2010.[5] In 2014, the hotel was sold to German billionaire Bernard Broermann. In 2017, it was announced that the hotel would cease to be managed by Kempinski in January 2021 and would switch to Marriott's Autograph Collection chain.[6] The hotel left Kempinski on January 13, 2021.[7] The Hôtel de Noailles wis an umwhile Hôtel an biggin in Paris.
