"The manager of the Hotel offers free rooms to guests of particular note or interest. He irritably denies the suggestion that he might be 'collecting' them."

The Royal Bethlehem Hotel, formerly the hospital of the same name, is an elite hotel run by a very mysterious manager.

A Hotel for the Mad[]

A room at the Royal Beth. Art from FL.

The Royal Beth, as it's often called, is located across the Stolen River from Ladybones Road. Its manager likes to collect "guests of particular note" (and by that he means the mentally ill or nightmare-plagued), prowling the streets of London at night[1] and visiting bedrooms through mirrors.[2] If anyone starts showing symptoms of insanity, he will be by their side, ready to take them in when they finally snap. As long as they stay there, he harvests their most eerie dreams for his Garden.[3]

On the Surface, the Royal Beth was a psychiatric hospital.
