The "Fort Paragon Hotel" overlooked the Winter Gardens, but due to the emergence of other guest houses and smaller hotels unfortunately failed to reach its potential in filling its rooms and so became financially unviable. It was described as a Private Hotel and Boarding Establishment, facing the Bandstand, Pronenade and overlooking the Jetty, close to the Sea Baths and all bedrooms have sea views.
