The Albany Hotel the Pride
Of Denver

the past lew year. o.
have been the order OF the day. 10
ca ton. convenience, comforts and ar
the desires of critical travelling pub
lie are studied. A year or so ago
when Maher G. Dutton leased the Al
bany 1t was with the understanding
that the building was to be enlarged
and remodeled as thorough anu
hotel. The proprietors
agreed to this and the New Albany Is
the result and the pride OF Denver,
being able to accommodate more
guests than any other place In the
city while the kitchen and dining
room capacity is only excelled by one
hotel in the country, and that In Los
Angeles In the construction OF the
additions and Encouragement oil thc
old building, special attention was
was given to every convenience Tor
the business men, tourist and man oil
Iesiure-every comfort. There are
special dining rooms in addition to
the large one on the American plan,
another on the European and the
large and handsome grill room, the
most popular place OF the kind In the
city. Dining rooms and auditoriums
have been arranged that special
parties and associates can be taken
care of without interfering or hardly
knowing they are in the same build
Ing. To accommodate people on this
scale the kitchen was modelled on a
large and convenient plan, and there
Is no delay In service. When 1t is
known that 200 people are employed
it can be readily seen the scope Gov
cred. And there is special cooks,
special dining room and special wait
ers for this army Of help. Although
only completed in June the following
state societies have made the New
Albany headquarters: Knights OF
Pythias, Eastern Star, Colorado
State Medical Association, State
| Teachers Association, while the fol
lowing national societies have estab'
lished headquarters for meetings yet
this fall: Nation Laundrymen's AS
sociation, Brotherhood of Railway
| Trainmen, National Grange, National
Ware House and Transfer Men, and
the American Mining Congress. Tne
above Is cited simply to how the pop
ity of the place for men who desire
every comfort and convenience on
their annual outings.
At the present time there are 40O
guest rooms furnished new through
out with fine ventilation, noise proof
etc, in the main building, and most
OF the time 1t is necessary to secure
lodging at other places for guests
who will not go elsewhere. A de-
scription of the new arrangements at
the Albany are unnecessary as per.
sonal inspection is preferable and
more convincing. Messrs Maher and
Dutton thoroughly understand their
business and TO register at the AL
bany means steady patron.
In connection with the above ii
