HOTEL AIA.IESTIo.

A Magnificent Hotel to be Thrown OpeT
About June 2Oth-Mr. Root Manager
Mr.. Lincoln, Formerly of the New Haven
House, Chief Clerk.
The beautiful new structure, the
Hotel Majestic, is now being carpeted
throughout in Royal Wilton and body
Brussels and the furniture is being
moved in. The managemnt are making
every effort to get the house furnished
(Which is now completed in time to
open for guests coming to New Haven
| for commencement. This magnificent
new hotel, which has been eighteen
months in course of preparation, is stu
ated in the finest and highest location
on Chapel street above the college cam
pus near the Yale University club.
We understand one floor will be re-
served unfurnished for families who
desire to furnish according to their
taste. Amongst those selecting suites
of unfurnished rooms may be mentioned
Professor Niemeyer of the Yale Art
school, Professor Fairbanks of the post
graduate department and Professor
Bishop of Yale. The two former have
furnished their suites and have gone to
Europe for the summer, Professor
Bishop is now furnishing his and also
goes to Europe in a few days, They
have leased their suites by the year
Many others have also moved in or are
moving in, although the hotel Is not
yet open and probably will not be for
two weeks yet. A first class apart
ment hotel Of this character with COM
plete hotel service has long been needed
In New Haven for families and select
transient people, where rooms can be
had en- suite with private bath and
single This house has forty-siX bath
rooms, with fine open plumbing and
porcelain lined tubs, The table and at
tendance will be choice and the dining
room will be conducted on the American
and European plans and will be superior
to anything in the city, The dining
room viii be open until IL o'clock at
night, thus enabling ladies and gentle
men an opportunity for late suppers a
la carte, who have hitherto had no
first class place Of suitable quiet char
acter to patronize. The halls and mag
nificent dining room need only to be
seen to be admired, The walls and
floors are Of beautiful marble. Many
have said and no doubt truly that the
dining room is the handsomest In New
England. 1t certainly is a marvel Of
beauty.
The house is in a splendid location,
has lovely sunny rooms and contains
fifty bay windows The office Of the
hotel has telephone service with every
room in the house. The roof garden
for the exclusive use Of guests and
their friends is great feature the
view is magnificent. Long Island
can be plainly seen across the sound
Success no doubt awaits this house
and the people of New Haven will no
doubt patronlze it fully and show a
liberal spirit In helping to sustain 1t.
No one denies that such house Is
needed. A visit to the establishment
(after the house is open June 2O) will
prove that too much has not been said
In its favor. Ernest W. Root of New
York, the manager, was formerly con-
nected with the management of the
Grand Central, Manhattan Beach, ,IIo-
tel Derondo, Derondo Beach, Cal, and
Hotel Vendome, San Jose, Cal
Mr.. Root desires to state that he ex-
poets to open the house June 20 and
that cards OF admission will be ready
at the hotel office at that date. Those
desiring to inspect the house, view
the scenery from the roof, can apply on
that date for cards of invitations en-
titling them to said privilege.
