The Hotel was built as a private house in the late 18th century for a wealthy Manchester business family. The gardens were planned and laid out by Thomas Hayton Mawson, a landscape architect of international distinction, who was also responsible for the gardens [ [http://www.vredespaleis.nl/showpage.asp?pag_id=479 Link to gardens history on the official Peace Palace website] ] at the Peace Palace in the Hague.
