Excerpt from The Baltimore Illustrated: Management the Dean Hotel Co; Kansas City, U. S. A From a small and comparatively obscure city, only a score of years ago, Kansas City has forged her way to the very front of the cities of America. Her wonderful strides in a business way and her importance as a railway and jobbing center have been quite generally heralded for a number of years. But wonderful as has been the growth of her jobbing and wholesale interests, even more noticeable has been the evolution of her fine homes and boulevards and business blocks. Office and business buildings that compare favorably with those of any city in the United States have been erected in the last few years. Commensurate in every way with the growth and development of Kansas City has been the growth of the Baltimore Hotel. For many years a hotel of but little over 300 rooms, the excellence of her service and the general high character of her cuisine and furnishings had caused her to be well and favorably known from coast to coast. As she now stands, more than double her original size, impressive of design, rich and magnificent in appointments, every department numbering all that is modern in equipment, she takes rank among the very best and most beautiful hotels in America. This beautiful structure was erected by Mr. Bernard Corrigan in conjunction with the Corrigan estate, on the accepted plans and largely from the suggestions of Messrs. Dean Brothers and was designed in detail by Mr. Louis Curtiss, an architect of international repute. The building fronts on Eleventh street, Baltimore avenue and Twelfth street, while its remaining side gains light and ventilation from an extremely wide alley which parallels Main street, thus constituting a building an entire block long and one-half city block wide, having splendid light on the four sides. The building comprises eleven stories and basement. The portion of the basement fronting on Eleventh street and embracing one-half the area is devoted to the Rathskeller, the main buffet and grill while the remaining basement area, equalling one-quarter of an entire city block, is given over to the purposes of the principal kitchen, refrigerating plant, lighting, heating and ventilating systems, together with the vacuum and plenum systems. Here also is located the apparatus for the combustion of refuse, and in fact all other mechanical adjuncts necessary in the scientific construction in modern hotel economics. The main entrance of the hotel is placed beneath a massive and ornate metal canopy on Twelfth street, which develops into the splendid main corridor which is eighteen feet wide and two hundred seventy feet long and which terminates at the rotunda at Eleventh street.

Excerpt from Hotel Savoy: Illustrated; Fifty-Ninth Street and Fifth Avenue, New York City Hat America leads the world in the size and splendor of her hotels is the universal opinion of travelers. In Europe the hotels are not such national institutions as those of America. The only foreign rivals of the later American hotels are the palaces of princes and the historic dwellings of the aristocracy, but not many of these can show anything in the art of house embellishment superior to the display of luxury exhibited in these American palaces.

Excerpt from The St. Regis Hotel, Fifth Avenue and Fifty-Fifth Street, New York City A new standard of excellence in accommodations is evident through out the building, while in blending the utilitarian with the artistic features harmony is the principal impression sought. The structure, the equip ment, the materials in which it is finished, the decorations, the furniture, the various provisions for light and air, all bear a part of the ensemble, and with all modesty it may be said that as an example of excellence the st. Regis need fear no comparison with any public or private building in this city, certainly not/with any hotel the world over. To particularize the esthetic features is reserved until later in this article, but generally speaking it may be said that the style Of the interior is that of Louis XV and XVI, which periods as exemplified particularly at Versailles are still the unrivaled examples Of artistic quintessence. In minor respects the style was not followed with extreme rigor, the departure, so to say. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Piney Woods Hotel and Mitchell House, Thomaville, Ga Its winding drives and sylvan bridle paths are a pleasant resort for visitors, and its herd of deer and aviary afford pleasure and instruction. A newly completed boulevard makes the circuit of the city at an average distance of two miles from the Court House. Some of the views along this drive are as charm ing and picturesque as any in the country, and along its whole length it is canopied by overhanging pines and flanked by a rank growth of grass. We might mention Cleveland Park, the artistic suburban home of Mr. John W. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
