1t is more than probable that Fair
visitors will jump at the chance to
have their lodging place right
on the grounds. The big hotel
that has been built for them is
something new in Worlds Fairs
1t is called by the appropriate
name, Inside Inn, and is the great
est inn that was ever built. This
splendid hotel, destined to be one
of the gayest and most social spots
of the great Exposition, is In the
southeast corner of the grounds,
in close proximity to the Plateau
of States and just short distance
in the rear of Festival Hall, the
Art Palace and the main picture OF
the Exposition. The InGramural
railroad runs by the hotel entrance
and will carry passengers to all the
main exhibit palaces and all points
of greatest attraction in the grounds
The hotel is 400 feet wide by 500
feet long, and is three stories high,
with wide verandas overlooking a
large part of the grounds. 1t is
provided with large rotunda, par
lors, waiting rooms, and dining
room and cafe that alone seat $500
persons, and has 2,257 sleeping
rooms.
The rooms are let on either the
American or European plan, the
price being controlled by the size
location and furnishings Of tbs
room. The rates are reasUna ble, and
they include the admission to the
grounds. So long as the visitor
is a guest of the Inside Inn ii:
daily admission lee is practically
paid by the hotel. For instance
this hotel will sign seven
days' contract on the American
plan for $21, which covers lodging
three meals a day, and daily ad
mission to the grounds after tn,
visitor has become a registered
guest. Payment of this kind cal
be made on the installment plan.
