What is Morely’s Hotel?

George Moore wrote a series of letters that formed the Preface of his second book, Martin Luther (1879). A long letter dated December 1878 has a return address of Morely’s Hotel, London.

Above the hotel is visible behind the tower, next to the church; and below is a closeup. Presumably Morely’s was George Moore’s real address when visiting London and still residing in Paris.
