It is the imposing Art Deco hotel that will be seen in the sixth series of Peaky Blinders on the BBC.
And the good news for fans of the show is that the Peaky Blinders' Midland Hotel is indeed a real-life hotel that guests can check into - and experience a luxurious taste of the 1930s.
In the BBC series, which returns to screens on Sunday, February 27, characters will be seen heading to the hotel inside an imposing white Art Deco building.
The building has featured in the trailer which has built excitement for the new and final series.

But while it's called The Midland Hotel in the drama, in real life it is Manchester's five star Hotel Gotham that is used as the exterior.
Hotel Gotham has become known as one of Manchester's top hotels, and has been a hotspot for celebrity visitors and parties since it first opened as a hotel in 2015, with guests including Simon Cowell, Jennifer Hudson, Will.i.am and Robbie Williams.
It boasts 60 bedrooms over seven floors, and on the sixth floor is the venue's Honey fine dining restaurant, which is open to the public as well as hotel guests.
Up on the top floor is the exclusive private members bar Club Brass, which boasts three outdoor terraces with stunning views across the Manchester skyline.
The Art Deco theme is seen throughout the hotel's luxurious interiors - and staff are also all dressed as if they are from the 1930s in smart suits and period outfits.
Hotel Gotham bosses have confirmed that Peaky Blinders used the exterior of the hotel during filming, although they did not film inside.
Peaky producers renamed it the Midland Hotel in yellow letters for the purposes of the show, and filmed in Manchester during the spring and summer of 2021.
In a strange coincidence, the building was once known as the Midland here in Manchester - the Midland Bank that is - but it's not known if that's what inspired the name change in the BBC show.
The extraordinary building at the top of King Street is known as one of Manchester's finest Grade II-listed gems.
It was designed by Edwin Lutyens in 1928, and fully opened as a bank in 1935. The Midland Bank was renamed HSBC in 1999, and it remained a bank until 2008, when it was sold to new owners, with the large ground floor banking hall initially opened as Jamie's Italian restaurant.
In 2015 the upper floors became the super-stylish Hotel Gotham in a project which complemented the 1930s style of the building's exterior by creating an entirely Art Deco themed interior.
A 1930s banking theme, in honour of the building's heritage, is seen throughout.
There are 55 bedrooms inside the five-star hotel, including two 'bank manager's suites', which boast roll top baths and plush interiors including faux fur throws on the beds, as well as the hotel's signature zig zag carpets.
In addition, there are five 'inner sanctum suites' - the very top rooms - that are all named after Mancunian legends.
Room prices start from £189 for standard double rooms, up to £1,000 for the top suites.
Although in Peaky Blinders we will see the characters relaxing in fabulous Art Deco settings, the inside of Hotel Gotham was not used for filming of the drama.
Instead, most interior scenes - including the hit show's iconic Garrison pub - were purpose-built sets created at West Gorton's Space Studios.
Peaky Blinders' director Anthony Byrne decided to use Castlefield for series six filming to create the show's Garrison Lane and Small Heath stomping grounds - thanks to its atmospheric mix of canals, bridges and cobbled streets.
The real Small Heath is an area south east of Birmingham, where the real Peaky Blinders gang is thought to have first emerged, terrorising the streets from the 1890s through to the 1910s.
Writing on Instagram, Anthony wrote: "We took over Castlefield in Manchester and turned it into the streets of Small Heath, Birmingham in 1934.
"This was a place I walked to every day during the first lockdown and had the idea of turning this extraordinary location into the world of Peaky.
"I was incredibly fortunate to see this come to fruition a year later with some amazing collaborators and friends and the great perseverance and talent of Nicole Northridge our production designer and Jess Dove our location manager who really pulled it together, and you will see a lot more of it on the 27th."
