THE ROYAL HOTEL at SLOUG.II
REDUCTION of FARES by the GREAT WESTERN
RAILWAY COMPANY, and REDUCTION or CHARGES.
C. DOTESIO has the honour to make know'? in the Nobility,
Gentry, the Mercantile and the Agricultural World, OW the

ROYAL HOTEL AT SLOUGH
Has recently been renovated, so as to give additional ccattlfort and
effect (if that be possible) to the previous exertions of the several
artiste that were employed in completion of that which he bee so
frequently been flattered as to be called
THE FIRST HOTEL IN THE WORLD.
To have arrived at such a distinction it was first indispensable to
erect an Hotel worthy of Royalty, and it will be conceded to Mr.
Chadwick, the eminent builder, that he has succeeded a merveille,
observing, en passant, that he has arrived at this climax by an ex-
penditure exceeding 25,000/. This being accomplished, C. Dotesie's
next step was with 26,0001. more to follow in the school of taste,
and secure the genius and 1 mg-tried experi nee of the first uphol-
sterers and tap!ssiers of the two great metropolises, and he has ever
and anon been gratified by the universal exclamation that he has by
this exertion produced
AN ENSRMYILE QUITE PERFECT.
His primary object sew is, however, to state that in spite of each a
constellation of splendour, comfort in the most comprehensive fame
will be found to preside throughout every department ; he will append
a true fact, not a little important to make known, that his charger.
which are moderate, fixed, and Including every kind of attention and
attendance, are formed upon a scale that will not exceed any ether
hotel or tavern that seems worthy of a comparison. The motto he
has adopted will be
SPLENDOUR, COMFORT, AND ONLY AN
ADEQUATE REMUNERATION,
observing that the grand Chef, with the first and best troop of artists
decnigue that could be found In England and France, are now en-
gaged to render that department of the Royal Hotel unique, and
above any other public or private establishment ; and the Wines
have always been panegyrised as being recherche as money and good
Judgment could achieve, besides a variety of small and large cheerftil
apartments, commanding beautiful views of Windsor Castle and the
country round, suitable to accommodate all parties and companies ;
there are three noble Coffee-rooms with ;every comfort, whore a cup
of coffee, a mutton chop, or a moderate repast will be given of the
very best quality, in the best style, and on terms not c pposed to its
neighbouringcontemporaries. Wedding parties will find at the Royal
Hotel every nicety of comfort suitable for the occasion, combined
with the greatest privacy.
In conclusion, C. Dotesio most anxiously begs a fair trial, and
trusts a kind and just public will not allow misrepresentation, arising
out of envy or malice, in respect to his charges, to discourage all such
as are willing to lend their helping hand to support an establish-
ment that ever will be C. Dotesio's gratifying pride to main-
tain as

_
LA PREMIERE MATSON TOUJOURS DIGNE D'UN
PUBLIC ANGLA!S.
The Royal Hotel being now considered as the Great Western Ter
minus, Families, and Ladies and Gentlemen travelling to and from
the West of England, win find this house a great convenience, as they
will be enabled to see Windsor Castle, the Great Park, and Virginia
Waters, and proceed by any of the trains the following morning,
while it avoids the inconvenience of arriving in the Metropolis at a
late hour of night.

The Stable Department of this establishment Is upon a larger scale
than anything contemporaneous throughout England, and everything
is ready at a moment's notice. Post-horses, Carriages, and Flys of
every description, which are always in attendance on the arrival of
each Train. To prevent imposition, it will be necessary, on arriving
at the Slough Station, to ask for the Royal Hotel Carriages and
Horses, and observe that to deceive and impose upon the public, the
Hackney Flys have changed their colour to red, so as to imitate those
of the Royal Hotel, which are new distinguished only by the liveries
of the servants.
Le tout ensemble, with the peculiarly delightful and salubrious ad-
vantages of the situation of the Royal Hotel, with its extensive plea-
sure grounds, laid out by the celebrated Messrs. Lee, in a style worthy
of Repton's name, and throughout the season the never-ending dis-
play of the choicest plants and flowering shrubs pouring forth their
odoriferous perfume at every turn, C. D. trusts will leave nothing
more to covet, or in vain to dream of elsewhere.
Royal Hotel, Slough, July, 1845.
