The success story of Louisa Leyton, a young scullery maid who, through her beauty as well as her skill as a cook, became the hostess and intimate friend of peers, princes and kings. Later Louisa bought the run-down, seedy looking Bentinck Hotel, and despite her problems with a drunken husband, ill-health, and financial difficulties she transformed the old place into an international meeting place for the rich that became a legend in its own lifetime.
