Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Account of the Smithsonian Institution: Founder, Building, Operations, Etc;; Prepared From the Reports of Prof. Henry to the Regents, and Other Authentic Sources The attention of the Traveling Public is respectfully directed to this Hotel, which, it is believed, offers accommodations unsurpassed in Rooms, Furniture, and Attendance, by, and cheaper in price than, any other. The guests are at liberty to pay for their Rooms separately from their Meals, or to have a stated price for the whole, as suits their convenience; and for the latter, the price of $2:00 per day is less by one-quarter than any other Hotel in this neighborhood. The location is on the highest ground north of the Battery - the water sheds at four angles where Houston street crosses Broadway. It is central, being on the second block from the St. Nicholas Hotel, on the same with the Metropolitan and Niblo´s Theatre. Burton´s and Laura Keene´s Theaters, Wood´s Theater of Ethiopian Minstrels, Fredricks´ and Ansons´ celebrated Daguerreian Galleries, St. Thomas and Dr. Chapin´s Churches, are all within one block. In Summer this Hotel is one of the coolest and best ventilated in the City, and in Winter it commands, without danger from fire, the temperature of the Tropics, being heated throughout by steam. It is appointed in all its departments equal to the highest priced Hotels. Every Room is lighted by Gas, and has a self-supplyiug and self-draining marble Croton Water Basin. The Servants are abundant, respectful, and attentive, and do not solicit rewards. The Hotel is never closed, night or day. The Culinary Department is under charge of an experienced and capable Caterer, and the tables and Wines will be found not inferior to any other. A regular Hotel Dinner is provided in the American Style, every day, for those who prefer that to the European Plan. The aim of the Proprietor is, and it has been accomplished at great expense, to furnish to the Traveling Public at moderate cost, a safe and well appointed stopping place, in a central and desirable location. Having been the first in this City to originate the idea of a Hotel conducted on this principle, I respectfully request a share of the public patronage for this establishment, and am at liberty to refer to the officers of the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington.
