<p>The Wellesley is a 1920s townhouse beautifully restored with a modern take on the Art Deco style and with every modern convenience. The hotel is named after Sir Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington. He was a fine military leader who served as the Prime Minister of Great Britain twice between 1828 and 1834, and later as leader of the House of Lords. His statue stood atop the original Marble Arch commissioned by King George IV to commemorate victory in the Napoleonic Wars.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
