This Company is formed for the purpose of purchasing the
following valuable Hotels, situated at Chamonix :
„m—L'Hotel Royal, l'Hotel de I Union, l'Hotel du Palais de
Cristal, 1' Hotel du Nord, l'Hotel d'Angleterre, l'Hotel de
Londres, l'Hotel du Mont Blanc.
Arrangements have been made whereby the freehold of the
lands, buildings, furniture. plate, wines, horses, mules, and
all the neessary adjuncts for fully carrying on the business,
will pass into the immediate possession of the Company on
very advantageous terms.
The renown of Chamonix, for the matchless beauty of the
Mountain scenery with which it is surrounded, has for many
Years past rendered it a favourite rendezvous for tourists
from all parts of the world, and it is estimated that an ave-
rage of 12,000 to 15,0(:0 persons annually visit this spot, the
latter number having been exceeded last year, notwithstand-
ing the absence of American visitors. who, on the sub-idence
of the war, would considerably augment these numbers.
Timing' as a basis that each visitor remains only three
days, this gives a total of 45,000 ; and calculating an average
expenditure of Iss. per day for each person, mcludin,g wines,
gross receipt of £33,750 would be produced, frcm which a
net income of £l6,o(Oper annum may fairly be computed. The
Directors, therefore, confide ,tly anticipate that a dividend
will be declared at the end of the present year, of not less
than 15 per cent., leay.ng a large surplus to be carried over to
a reserve fund.
The four principal Hotels have not been built more than
four or five years, whilst the remainder have been erected
about ten year,, and have since been entirely renovated.
They contain together ample accommodation for over 5)0
persons.
By the amalgamation of the Hotels embraced in this un-
the competition, hitherto entailing large sacrifices on
Proprietors of each establishment, will cease, the several
Hotels.being opened ( my as the influx of visitors renders
rim--",
it
necessary. The supply of provisions will thus be strictly
rine,zulated by the consumption, and all general expenses of
The nagement become proportionate to the number of visitors.
,gratuities to guides, through whom cust in was for-
in"l37 Becurel, forming an annual burthen of some £3,000
the management expenses of the hotels, will also
be entirely economised, and increase the profits to that
aniount.
The annexation of Savoy to France has materially
cha.nzed the present position and future prospects of Cha-
Monlx, which, connected with the rest of France by an lan-
Perial route, now in course of construction, will participate
In the rapid career of improvement and prosperity which,
under its present ruler, is changing the face of the whole
ern p're.
The at'ractions of Chamonix have, moreover, been recently
augmented by the discovery that the waters of this valley
Possess mineral properties of the highest value. The sul-
phurous waters are identical with those of St. Gervais, whilst,
topographically, Chamonix is more favourably situated, and
the ferruginous springs are similar to those of Spa.
As a place for Hydropathic treatment, it will be equalled
by no other in Europe, since it is supplied by the waters of
the Avre and the Avignon, which are of the uniform tem-
perature required for this system, and the organisation of
an establishment for this purpose will be intrusted to the
skill and experiience of Dr. Ritterbandt.
Mr. Ferdinand Eisenkramer, proprietor of three of the
principal Hotels, has entered into arrangements to under-
take the management of all the Company's Hotels.
It is, besides, proposed to provide suitable establish-men s
on a scale to meet all future demands, and there is little
doubt that Chamonix will add to its fame, as a fashionable
resort for tourists, that of being one of the first Bathing and
liydropathic Establishments in the world.
Prospectuses and forms of aoplication for shares may be
obtained at the Company's Offices, 3,5, Threadneedle-street,
or of the Brokers and Bankers of the Company.
