The building was originally called the Coburg Court Hotel. The Coburg Court Hotel first opened in 1907. It was later renamed the Coburg Hotel in the early 1960s.[1]
The Coburg Hotel was used as a filming location in Alfred Hitchcock's Frenzy (1972).[2] Richard Blaney and Babs Milligan check into the Coburg as "Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Wilde." Filming took place at the hotel in September 1971.[3] The interiors of the Coburg Hotel were mostly recreated at Pinewood Studios, except for the policemen's point-of-view shot showing the fire escape, which was filmed by assistant director Colin M. Brewer from a fifth-floor room.
