Admiralty Arch in London was designed by Aston Webb for King Edward VII, in memory of Queen Victoria, and John Mowlem & Co. built it. The infobox and text give 1912 as completion, but the Latin inscription is dated 1910. Edward VII died before it was finished.
The article calls the style Neoclassical, combining a triumphal arch with a government office building. It gives no materials or dimensions. It is Grade I listed.
The Cabinet Office moved in during 2000, and the building was vacated in 2011. In 2012 it was sold on a 125-year lease for 60 million pounds, though a 2011 report gave 75 million. Westminster approved a 100-room hotel in 2013, and the Reuben brothers took over development in 2022. It is being converted into a Waldorf Astoria hotel scheduled to open in 2026, and the infobox lists Motcomb Estates as tenant. The article gives no visiting details.
