    You just triggered a flashback about a weird parking garage that had Ground between P1 and P2 so that it would line up with the hotel’s Ground floor!

    It went:

    • P3
    • P2
    • Ground
    • P1

    Now that you mention the slopes, I do have a fuzzy recollection of a building on a slope having a separate Ground floor from the numbered floors for street level access. 1st floor was the main lobby.

    I can’t think of one on flat ground ever having separate Ground and 1st floors though.
