I believe they had this at the (now refurbished) Midland Grand Hotel at St Pancras in London in the 1920's, they also boasted the only ladies smoking room , very progressive.

A big oversight in the hotel design was not including the new fangled central heating or plumbing, after WW1 the increased cost of labour meant that staff to light fires and bring hot water to rooms for baths became uneconomical.

The once stately grand languished until the new EuroStar line to Paris moved to St Pancras and it was remodelled.

Fans of the Spice Girls will spot the then dilapidated central staircase in their video for "Wannabe"
