This stunning building designed by Edwin Lutyens was formerly a branch of the Midland Bank and offers glitzy decadence with a cheeky twist. There may be a Batman reference in the name and his motif may be on the do not disturb signs, but the theme is more a Baz Luhrmann interpretation of The Great Gatsby."
