| TEXT | There is nothing which adds so much to the prestige of a city as first-class hotel accommodations, and in this respect New York stands pre-eminent. One of the leading and most successful hotels on the European plan in the city is the favorite Continental. It is in every respect a strictly first-class house, and has several features of interest to the general public. As to location, the Continental is admittedly about the best situated and the most central of any first-class hotel in New York. Located at the corner of 30th Street and Broadway, it is easy of access by the elevated roads and street car lines, while it is directly central to the very finest and largest business houses and shops in the city, also to the leading theatres and clubs, etc., so that its guests have facilities and conveniences in this way that are in themselves a strong attraction. Then the Continental, while conducted strictly on the European plan, now so generally preferred bj the travelling public, has the finest restaurant, considering price and quality, to be found in New York. Its cuisine is renowned and no pains or expense are ever spared to make it a leading feature of comfort and excellence. The hotel is finely built and attractive in appearance both inwardly and outwardly. It possesses one hundred and sixty-six rooms, graduated in price according to location and size. The halls and corridors are wide, spacious and convenient, while the rooms are all commodious, handsomely furnished, and elegant in all their appointments, fixtures and upholstery. The ladies' and gentlemen's parlors and reception rooms are elegantly and richly furnished, while the offices located on the first floor are fitted up in the most convenient and attractive style, and are connected with each floor by spacious and easy stairways, and safety passenger elevators. The appointments, fittings and furnishings are absolutely complete and high class, and reflect the utmost credit upon the good taste and excellent judgment of the esteemed proprietor, Mr. E. L. Merrifield. This is what might be expected, as Mr. Merri-field, though still in the prime of manhood, is a veteran hotel keeper, and has a vast practical experience, derived from his long connection and proprietorship in strictly firsfrclass houses. With all its excellences, the Continental's rates are very reasonable, and are duly appreciated by the thousands of our leading business men who have so often experienced Mr. Merrifield's genial hospitality, which accounts for the fact that the Continental is always so well patronized, no matter what the season of the year. |
