[From Cbambera'A Journal]
• The Irving House, the Astor House,
the MetrOpolitan, and the St. Nicholas
hotels at New York, and the Continental
Hotel in Philadelphia,. have shown what
stupendous establishments Brother
Jonathan requires—six to eight hundred
bedrooms under one roof; three hundred
servants; a steam laundry - that will
- wash four thousand articles in a -day (a
shirt washed, dried, ironed and delivered
in fifteen minutes:); the beef of a thou-,
sand oxen cooked and served up in 'a
year; bell-telegraphs to every-room; five
and-twenty omnibuses, and other carri
ages, to convey visitors to and from the
hotels; a mile and a half of verandahs
and balconies in front of the several
ranges of rooms; hot and cold water
baths to every bedroom; a hundred'
miles of gas and water pipes; a bridal-,
chamber so gorgeously furnished and
served that ten guineas a day is charged
for its use—all these things the Ameri
rans have long been accustomed to.
Since then, Paris has added her Hotel
de Louvre and Grand Hotel to her
former list, the one with live hundred,
And the other with six -hundred bed
rooms.
Now, what have we in England been
doingg meanwhile? Confining our
attehtion to London, we may
notice, in the first place, that many of
the old coaching inns, having no more
use for their four-horse coaches, have
changed into hotels, sometimes con
necting with railway booking-offices.
Such is the case with the
Golden Cross, the Bell and Crown, the
George and Blue Boar, the Swan and
Two Necks, the Bull and Mouth, and
some others; while the' Belle Savage and
the Boar and Castle have ceased to be'
inns or hotels in any form. The pro
prietors of some of these transformed
inns try to keep up their old connec
tions, as places of sojourn for country
folks who used to come by coach, now
by rail, to London.
In the next place, the large hotels in
connection with the great railway
termini have increased in number. The
Victoria and the Euston, at Euston
Square, were the first of these—large,
but excessively plain buildings, wholly
dependent for custom on the adjacent
railway station. Next on the list were
the Great Western and Great Northern,
the one at Paddington, and the other at
King's Cross, each in immediate connec
tion with a large and important railway
terminus. Tnese four establishments
were bold ventures; but the result, in
the form of handsome dividends, has
shewn that the ideas of the promoters
were not ill-founded. The International,
adjoining the. Brighton Company's
terminus at London Bridge, is less
closely associated with the railway in
terest, and there has not been much talk
yet of its success. The Grosvenor,form
nig, the north front of the Victoria
Station at Pimlico, is one of the most
ornate buildings in London, covered
with decoration from chimney-pots
down to basement. The interior, too,
is sumptuous; and there are here a
number of appliances for facilitating the
ingress and egress of visitors from and
to the adjacent station. It is'an expen
sive place,' which excursionists "To
Brighton and Back for Three Shillings"
can only look at and wonder.
The Charing Cross Hotel is perhaps
the most grandly situated in i London,
opening as it does to that fine part of the
Strand near St. Martin's Church. Of
course the reader remembers Hungerford
Market, with the avenue leading down
to the Bridge and the Pier. All are
vine. We are afraid to say how much
money the demolitions and reconstruc
tions have cost the Southeastern Com
pany; but there is the station at all
events, and there is the hotel. The
main front of this caravanserai is about
two hundred and thirty feet long: and
the east front, (the ground plan of the
whole structure is something like the
letter L;, two hundred feet. The build
ing has an amazing number of strides,
especially on the Villiers street side.
The ground floor of the main front is
appropriated to booking-offices; but all
on the east limb of the L, are hotel.
The bedrooms are about two hundred
and fifty in number;-and there is in ad
dition an extensive series of coffee
rooms, ladies' coffee and drawing-rooms,
board and meeting rooms, billiard and
smoking rooms,, dining saloons, buffet
and restaurant connected with the sta-`
tion, kitchen, sculleries and so forth.
Tanks for thirty thousand gallons of
water, and hydraulic lifts to save leg
work, are provided.
We have seen, then, that the trans
formation of some of the old coaching
inns into hotels, and the construction of
large new hotels adjacent to the great
railway termini, have in some measure
provided London with a kind of accom
modation which it sadly needed.
But now we come to a third and More
prolific kind of agency—Limited Lia
bility. What these magic words mean
can only be fully understood by those
who have bitten their fingers by unlim
ited liability in joint-stock enterprises..
In 1855,an act of Parliament established
the Limited Liability principle; and
ever since then, the new system has
been in high favor. Among others,hotel
companies in large numbers have been
formed. In many cases, the owners of
inns and small hotels have succeeded in
getting up limited liability companies,
which purchase the old buildings at a
good price, pull them down, construct
larger and finer ones, and engage the
old landlord as "manager," at a good
round salary. In fact, it would be in
structive if could know all the "dodges"
by which new companies have been
launched, Some of these changes are,
however, reasonably and honorably
planned. We may adduce the case of
the South Kensington Hotel as illustra
ting a mode of blending six large houses
into one hotel, with very little extra
building, and forming something mid
way in character between a public and
private hotel.
The Agricultural or Salisbury Hotel,
just opened in. Salisbury Square, is half
farmer's club, half-public hotel, and
therefore has a double chance of success.
Besides a club-room for the farmers,there
are coffee, dining, reading,snaoking and
billiard rooms, and about seventy bed
rooms. Few persons are yet aware what
a handsome building is thus poked
away, in a nook behind Fleet Street.
The Westminster Palace Hotel, -poen
.pying a very bold wedge-shaped site in
Victoria street; bids for• custom par*

session,. and ' partly among parliament

.Preskit only the
Other half to. be'reSponsitle 'for.
The Inns of Court Hotel is a bid for
lawyers' custom; but doubtless the pro
prietors Will.hel equally Willing to take.
other guests' money. The building pro
mises to be a beautiful one; although the
Holborn frontage gives but an inade
quate conception of the space of ground
it will .cover. One of the old-coaching
inns has been pulled down to make room
for the north front; three houses in Lin
coln's Inn Fields have been removed to
make room for the south front; and the
space from front to back is more than
two hundred and fifty feet in depth.
The narrow street jocosely called Whet
stone Park bisects this area; and the
hotel will be in two blocks, connected
by a gallery over and a tunnel under this
street. The north block will have a
central:courtyard, seventy feet by forty,
with a glass roof, fountains and conser
vatories in it, and sitting-room windows
looking into it. Then there will be a
large coffee-room, a ladies' coffee-room,
a reading-room, 44r,c.; while the south
block will contain a still larger coffee
room, a smoking-room, a very large,
billiard-room,-and two meeting or arbi
tration rooms. Above stairs will be
about a hundred and seventy bedrooms.
The Holborn folk, and people in gene
ral, are to be caught by the attractions of
the north front; while the Lincoln's Inn
front is to catch the-lawyers and their
clients, their judges and their witnesses.
We are promised that the Strand Hotel
shall be rather more economical than
most of the others; better suited to mid
dle class folk. Let us hope that this is
true. There are some queer features
connected with the locality in which it
is being built; but these may perhaps be
ameliorated by and by. Some few years
ago, near or between Wych street and
Holy well street there was one of the
minor Inns of Court called Lyon's Inn.
Why the lawyers gave it up, we do not
know; but it is gone; a "Limited" Com
pany bought it, and are building a hotel
on the site. The Strand Hotel will be a
large affair altogether. Occupying three
or four houses' space in the Strand, it
will extend back to Holy well street; it
will then jump across that street by
means of a bridge eighteen feet from the
ground, and occupy the half-acre lately
constituting Lyon's Inn. The southern
block, opening to the Strand, will con
sist mainly of the tavern and restaurant
department; while the northern. between
Hulywell and Wych streets, will com
prise two or three hundred sleeping and
sitting rooms, and a very large hall for
public meetings. When the near Palace
of Justice is built, between St. Clement's
Church and Temple Bar, tbis Strand
Hotel will certainly be well placed.
The newly built hotel which has ex
cited more surprise in London, perhaps
than any other, is the Langham. l'eo
ple cannot understand how it can ever
"pay." It is a bit of "soft sawder" on
the part of the directors to talk of its
"convenient proximity to the various
railroad stations;" tieing that it would
be a pretty good pull to Paddington,
Victoria, Waterloo, London Bridge or
Bishopsgate. They are not mere rail
way pasengers for whom this hotel is
suited, in to-day and out to-morrow,
with carpet bag in hand; they are people
who contemplate 'a longer stay in the
metropolis, and are families rather than
bachelors. On the other hand, Portland
Place is not in Belgravia; we do not as
sociate it with a long string of dukes
and duchesses. Nevertheless, there is
this to be said of it, that Portland Place
is a sort of headquarters for foreign am
bassadors accredited to the English
court; and that foreign visitors are ne
cessarily frequent and numerous at and
near the embassies. Moreover, country
families have often quite as much money
at command as dukes and duchesses; so
it may perchance happen that the Laug
h= has a lucky future before it.
that as it may, the structure is a remark
able one. Its northern facade looks im
posing from Portland Place; while tin.
guests can obtain a pleasant peep over:
the 'Regent's Park towards Primrose
Hill and Hampstead. The hotel not
havinc , so wide-spreading a frontage as
some others now built or building, its
vast cubical contents, or number of
rooms, cannot be appreciated by a mere
outsider. Take the ground floor as a test
of area. There is in the centre au open
quadrangle or court yard, decked our
with fountains and flowers and afThrd
ing mean: for lighting vast ranges of
upper rooms on all four sides. Between
this courtyard and the grand entrance
from Portland Place are the post office
and telegraph office, the clerk's office,
halls, vestibules and staircases of impos
ing character. Behind, or southward of
the courtyard, is the sa//c-a-mrogyer, or
public dining-room, a noble apartment,
measuring about a hundred and fifty
feet long. The eastern side of the
ground floor is occupied by the coffee
room, a ladies' cottbe-room, and a
library and reading room. The
western side has an "ambassadors'
audience-room," and an "ambas
sadors' secretary's room"—designations
which seem to shew that the designers
of the hotel know something about am
bassadors' whereabouts; and there is
on this side also -a ladies' drawing or
reading room. As to: the stories that
mount one above another over this
ground-floor, a long way up towards the
the sky, they are occupied by almost in
terminable ranges of sitting akd bed
rooms, availabl either singly or in
suites, and all fitted with those modern
appliances which conduce so much to
the comfort of a home. The gentlemen
are allowed a smoking-room and a bil
liard-room, but not too near the living
rooms of the hotel. But the kitchen is
the most remarkable department in this
hotel, seeing that it puts in a -laim to
be considered the largest in London. Its
dimensions are magnificent—more than
fifty feet long by nearly forty wide.
There are recesses round the room, and
in these recesses are placed the various
groups of cooking apparatus, each group
distinct from the others. First, the Fire
King's peculiar domain, is the roasting
grate, eight feet wide by seven high,
with spits for something like fifty joints
at once, governed by a jack worked by
hydraulic power. Then there is the
chop and steak fire, . so learnedly
managed that the smoke is drawn down
wards instead of upwards—doubtless a
great virtue in broiling. Then comes
the fish-fire, for frying, broiling and
boiling, with a separate compartment
for two huge coppers, in, which a whole
turbot or salmon can be. grappled 'with
at once. Then there is the pastry-oven,
in which roe after row of nice things
can be baked at once. Then,cornes. a
compartment under the spedial charge
of the-chef c?‘.: cuisine himself, a semi-

which the enirees an' other 'delicate

il
are steam chambers a d hot closets, to
render their own peculiar kind of ser

a Brobdingnagian tah[e, with an elm
top, twenty feet lo n; by six inches
thick. There is a sery ng table, with a
top of polished iron kept moderately
hot; and near this is a hydraulic-lift,
whereby, when the clerk has booked
everything, the good things are, sent up
to the guests.'' Ih.an adjoinin,g:smaller
..kitchen are steamers for cooking salt
beef, hams, vegetables, puddings, &c.
And to wind up all, the steam used so
plentifully in the culinary operations,
instead of being afterwards wasted, is
made to heat a tank' containing five
hundred gallons of water, for the
general service of the hotel.
