Free to a good home!

We acquired this beautiful houseplant the other day. It had been passed on to a friend as its owner was moving to a smaller house, but fortunately for us, she also has nowhere suitable to keep it so passed it onto us. It's very handsome in the corner of our bedroom, but I've no idea what it is. I'm told it has small white flowers with a pink centre, which I look forward to seeing next year - if I manage to keep it going that long! Any clever blippers out there who can identify it for me?
