The Salisbury Hotel.

- -0-

Another of those great hotels which have of late sprung
up in the metropo)is has just been opened for the ac-
commodation of the citizens and visitors to London. This
latest addition is nail the Salisbury Hotel, and is
situate in Salisleiry-squ, e, Fleet-street. The building
is of the most substantial and convenient character, and
everything conducive to the comfort of its occupants has
been studied and provided for with the most scrupulous
attention. The building contains nearly 100 bed rooms,
besides private sitting rooms, private dining rooms, and
ladies' coffee room, on tho upper floors. On the ground
floor are hotel coffee room, 50 feet long by 25 feet wide ;
three rooms for the purposes of the Farmers' Club, the
largest being nearly 40 feet long by 20 feet wide ; a
smoking room ; besides the ordinary manager's room,
bar, service, &c. There is also, on this floor, a large
dining room or hall for public dinners, meetings, &c., 70
feet long by 30 feet wide, and upwards of 20 feet high ;
this can be used either for the hotel purposes, or let sepa-
rately. The basement contains the kitchens and various
offices, which have been fitted up in the most complete manner
by the firm of Adams and Son, of the Haymarket, the gentle-
men who performed such surprising work at the Langham
Hotel. The larders in this portion of the building are com-
pletely lined with white tiles, and the cooking apparatus is
distinguished by all that novelty and substantiality that so
peculiarly distinguishes the work of the Messrs. Adams. One
of the many improvements in this department is the great
saving that is effected in the consumption of fuel for cook-
ing operations, as by the improved means more than one-
half ordinarily used is saved, whilst better results are
secured. They have also provided lifts for luggage, and
baths, both hot and cold, with all the modern appliances,
have not been forgotten. Altogether the arrangements of
the hotel are of the most perfect kind. No expense
has been spared internally, for the simple reason
that nothing has been thrown away on the outside,
which nevertheless has an imposing and good effect.
The architect is Mr. Giles, of Craven-street, and the
builders of the structure the Messrs. Trollope, of Parlia-
ment-street. Owing to the difficulties of the site a great
number of iron girders have been used, and the whole
building is fire-proof. Taking the moderate tariff and the
central and unusually quiet situation of the Salisbury
Hotel into consideration, it should be among t the most
successful of our modern hotels. The whole of the man-
agement has been placed in the hands of Mr. Higgs, whose
experience, gained at the Euston, will be a guarantee for
the comfort of all patronising the new establishment.
