I've created this thread as we don't seem to have one about the GWR Hotel. I've extracted Mike's newspaper cutting from another thread to start this off. It seems is was very grand inside.

The Great Western hosting a banquet for Lord Napier in 1870.

A drawing from September 1868, the Illustrated Midland News. Some changes must have been made over time such as the entrance to the station and the central chimney.
