The Regent Hotel was built to accommodate passengers using the Guiseley railway station but when the line was laid it was found that the gradient behind the hotel was too steep and the station was built a little further down the line.

The hanging sign at the Regent Hotel depicts the Prince Regent who became King George IV.
