This Company has been formed for the purpose of meeting
;he increasing demand for superior hotel accommodation
within a convenient distance of the Metropolis.
Slough has always been considered one of the most healthy
spots in the kingdom. The promenades include Eton Col-
lege, Windsor Castle, Virginia-water, Taplow, Stoke-park
and church, the Burnham Beeches, and many other places of
equal beauty and celebrity. Fishing, shooting, and hunting
are all within reach, and it is proposed, in compliance with
the wishes of several gentlemen who hunt with the Royal
stag hounds, the Prince Consort's harriers, and other packs,
to set a i.art a portion of the hotel for their exclusive use,
with a view to the formation of a hunt club.
The Directors have purchased, on favourable terms, the
well-known Royal Hotel at Slough, and propose, by judicious
alterations and additions, to make great improvements in
the sleeping accommodation. The public and private dining
rooms are excellent, and require but few alterations to afford
ample space for several hundred visitors, whilst an almost
unlimited number may be aoeommodated under marquees and
tents'on the extensive lawns on such occasions as the Ascot
and Egham races, the Windsor and Slough steeplechases, the
'Eton and other regattas, wedding parties, Sc.
In addition to the usual accommodation, there will be sepa-
rate rooms for billiards, reading, and smoking, while the
beautiful and extensive grounds afford ample space for out-
door exercise and amusements. It is intended, by paying
particular attention to the culinary department, to attract
many of the numerous dinner parties which it is now the
summef season fashion to hold in the vicinity of London, and
which have made certain hotels possessing fewer advantages
than the one at Slough very lucrativeinvestments for capital.
The Hotel, notwithstanding the proposed additions and
alterations, will, it is expected, be ready for the reception of
visitors in the autumn, before the hunting season commences;
and thus afford to the shareholders an early as well as a pro-
fitable return for the capital invested.
The Hotel is close to the station, and, by express, within
25 minutes of London ; and, as the terminus is shortly to be
extended to the city, the Great Western will be as accessible
as any other railway to all parts of the metropolis.
The Directors have also secured the extensive and very
superior stabling formerly attached to the hotel, but now
temporarily occupied by Thomas Young, including the tap,
two cottages, and large kitchen garden. The tap is in full
business, and, from the number of horses kept at Slough
during the hunting* season, great profits must necessarily be
derived from this department, which will be placed under the
superintendence of a competent person, and no expense
spared to secure the health andcomtort of the horses.
The property is freehold, and exempt from tithe and land
tax, except a portion of the stabling, which is on lease, for an
unexpired term of 298 years, at a peppercorn rent.
Application for shares mu Qt be forwarded, post prod, to the
solicitors, brokers, or the offices of the Company, 3, Hanover-
square ; at either of which places prospectuses may be ob-
tained. •
