THEMAFirmendarstellung
TEXTIn a carefully written historical review of the solid business interests of the great metropolis, no branch of the subject will attract the general attention of the public to such an extent as that treating of the best and most desirable hotels. The advantages which may readily be seen and recognized of the European plan have induced many of our hotel men to adopt it, and believing in the establishment of an entirely new and most magnificently furnished and situated house tipon this plan, in which the most scrupulous regard would be shown for the wants and comforts of the best classes of the community generally, Messrs. Jones & Plewe, on March 31, 1884, opened the magnificent Hotel Élite, at the north-east corner of Broadway and 39th Street. The hotel is architecturally a great ornament to the city, and is constructed in modern style with due regard to the comfort, convenience and safety of guests. It is of large dimensions, containing one hundred and twenty rooms all en suite, so that the requirements of families, so seldom met in a proper manner in fashionable hotel accommodations, are here provided for upon the most elaborate scale, and at rates cheaper than could be quoted in houses and flats for the same class of accommodation. The rooms are all airy and pleasantly situated, elegantly furnished, and to every way the most attractive in the city, while an additional fact is that the building and all its appointments are entirely new. Conducted strictly up«n the European plan, there is associated with the house one of the most complete restaurants in the city, the culinary department presided over by an experienced chef, while the catering and attendance is under the direct superintendence of Mr. Plewe, a gentleman of vast practical experience in hotel-circles, who retired from the Gilsey House with a well-earned reputation for energy, talent and the best of executive ability. In the office of the Hotel Élite will be found the senior partner, Mr. Jones, an attentive and popular host, who justly merits the great degree of popularity to which he has attained, and who spares no pains or expense to maintain the highest standard of excellence, so that there is no finer or more select hotel in New York to-day. In location it is directly central to the most fashionable sections of the city, to the best stores, theatres and the leading churches, and it is just the place for out-of-town people to make a home of while in the city. The merits of the Hotel Élite are too apparent to New York citizens (who prefer hotel life) to require further explanation here, and the best proof of the general popularity of this excellent house, under its present able management, is afforded by the thousands who have already enjoyed its hospitalities.
