ABRIDGE!) PROSPECTUS.
The conversion into one grand hotel of the six magnifi-
cent mansions (including Wallace's Hotel) at St. George's-
place, Hyde-park-corner, commanding direct and uninter-
rupted views over Hyde-park, Rotten-row, and the
Serpentine, is the object for which this Company is pro-
j
The possession of so megnificent a site, with buildings
already completed and furnished, and a portion actually ap-
propriated as an Hotel, with an established connection of
the highest character, and with a space for the erection of
a noble hall and coffee room, and wanting only communica•
bins to be made between these respective buildings, altoge-
ther present advantages unequalled in any similar project
which has been brought under the notice of the public.
The Alexandra Hotel will offer to the families of the
nobility and gentry all the luxuries and comforts of a private
residence, with pure air and uninterrupted views ; and its
immediate proximity to the Palace, the Parks, Piccadilly,
and Belgravia, presents local advantages which cannot be
too highly valued.
The additions which will be made to the furnishing and
embellishment of the Hotel will be commensura, e with the
importance of the site and the connection which this Hotel
will command.
The accommodation of the Hotel will include a splendid
ball and coffee room private billiard room, especially for
the residents in the liotel, hot and cold baths, &c. The
arrangements will also comprise drawing and reception
rooms, with bedrooms adjoining in suites, after the manner
of the Continental hotels.
Arrangements will also be made for residences for fixed
pen." , periods • and every improvement which experience and
good taste can suggest will be adopted, so as to ensure the
privacy and comfort of home, comb ned with the advan-
tage of superior hotel accommodation.
As to profits, it must be borne in mind that, as the Com-
pany are spared the risk, loss, and delay arising from clear-
ing a site and building an Hotel, immediate profits will
arise. Having regard to the position of the Alexandra
Hotel, the patronage already extended to the one included
in .the purchase, and the assurances of support received
from the highest quarters, the Directors feel justified in
looking forward to a very large and remunerative return
upon the capital invested.
The liability of the shareholders will be limited to the
amount of shares for which they subscribed.
A deposit of £1 per share will be payable on application,
and a further sum of £2 per share upon allotment. The
further calls will not exceed £3 per share, at intervals of not
s than three months.
If no allotment be made, the deposit will be returned
without any deduction whatever.
Applications for shares may be made in the usual form
to the brokers, solicitors, or secretary, accompanied by a
banker's receipt or a cheque upon a banker for the depos
of £1 per share.
