English term

building holding shop

English to Spanish Other Tourism & Travel Se trata de la descripción de un hotel. No me parece muy clara la frase entera, dice "once" pero luego habla de "is Britain's" en vez de "was"? Alguna idea?
Once a Royal Mail sorting office the Mailbox in which the hotel is housed is Britain's largest mixed use building holding shop, cafes and bars in its cavernous arcade

Once a Royal Mail sorting office Having been in the past a Royal Mail sorting office.

Remember how children stories start: "Once upon a time..."

Comma after "sorting office" and after "building" brings sense to the sentence!
(note: "shops" - not shop")
