The '''Royal Bethlehem Hotel''', formerly the hospital of the same name, is an elite hotel run by a very mysterious [[The Manager of the Royal Bethlehem Hotel|manager]]. <br />
[[File:Royalbeth.jpg|thumb|350px]]The '''Royal Bethlehem Hotel''', formerly the hospital of the same name, is an elite hotel managed by a man who may actually be Gilgamesh (more information [[The Falling Cities|here]]). It is located across the Stolen River from [[Ladybones Road]]. [[Fallen London]]ers may purchase a room there for a quite exorbitant price (no, this is NOT a free room like in the quote!), then upgrade it for one that is simply ridiculous for all but the most famous among them.

[[File:Royalbethroom.png|thumb|left|A room at the Royal Beth. Art from FL.]]The Royal Beth, as it's often called, is located across the Stolen River from [[Ladybones Road]]. Its manager likes to collect "guests of particular note" (and by that he means the mentally ill or nightmare-plagued), prowling the streets of London at night<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Ask_where_you_can_locate_the_players|Ask where you can locate the players|Fallen London|}} ''"The Manager: often perambulates London at night, searching for those afflicted, to collect for his hotel."''</ref> and visiting bedrooms through mirrors.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Follow_the_Merry_Gentleman|Follow the Merry Gentleman|Fallen London|}} ''"The Merry Gentleman keeps going, out again through the other side of the mirror. You try to follow, but this time you lose him. You are alone, in the second-storey bedroom of an ordinary rooming house."''</ref> If anyone starts showing symptoms of insanity, he will be by their side, ready to take them in when they finally snap. As long as they stay there, he harvests their most eerie dreams for his Garden.<ref>{{Citation|https://fallenlondon.wiki/wiki/Ambition:_Arm_Yourself_Against_the_Garden_of_Nightmares|Arm Yourself Against the Garden of Nightmares|Fallen London|}}</ref>


On the Surface, the Royal Beth was a [[wikipedia:Bethlem_Royal_Hospital|psychiatric hospital]].
The manager likes to collect "guests of particular note", and by that he means the mentally ill/nightmare-plagued. If anyone starts showing symptoms of insanity, he will be by their side, ready to take them in when they finally snap. It is unknown what he gets out of this. The higher the room he provides them with, the more interesting he finds their malady.

|The Manager of the Royal Beth is a survivor of the [[The Fallen Cities|First City]]; his lover is the King with a Hundred Hearts. He is probably Gilgamesh (Enkidu, then, is the King with a Hundred Hearts), though this has been cast into doubt. He is also certainly a player of the Marvellous.
