HOTEL BEAUTIFUL
IS At HOLLYWOOD
ELABORATE ADDITION SHOWN
IN THE PICTURE
Provision Made for Forty New Suites,
an Open Logeia, Elevator Ser
vice, Flower and Palm Gar
dens and Bungalows

The new addition to the Hotel Holly
wood, in the pretty suburb Of that
name, is now so far along that it's COM
pletion is promised for November Is
next. The addition, which is shown in
the accompanying cut on the left or
suites of rooms to the hotel, all with
baths. In general way, it will carry
out the present design Of the building,
1t being of the mission type, con-
structed of concrete on steel lath foun-
dation.
Like the hotel proper the addition is
three stories high. On all but the lower
fioor the addition forms an integral
part of the house, but on the first floor
1T is separated by an open loggia, set
with heavy columns about twenty-five
feet long. This logia will be closed
in the rainy season with glass, thus
making a sun parlor and open palm
garden. Through it from the street
will be afforded a view of the tropical
garden to the rear, and of the tennis
courts, which will be constructed be-
yond.
Luxurious and Beautiful
The new wing, like the rest of the
house, will be finished in slashed grain
Oregon pine, and the furniture will be
of the mission type, luxurious in the
extreme All the suites will face out,
those on the second and third floors
having bay windows, which Is true of
most of those on the lower floor. Above
the loggia will be suites of rooms also,
and a wide corridor, connecting the
two structures. Surrounding the new
wing will be extensive lawns and floral
gardens, similar to those now main
tained in relation to the rest of the
house.
Modern Elevator Service
At the same time that this wing is
building there Is being installed an ele-
Vator for guests, as well as telephone
system for the rooms. The heating
plant will be greatly enlarged and re-
moved to a separate building in the
rear. Both cottages for the help will
be placed back of the main building
and detached from It, being screened
bv gardens and by the hoetl proper.
In the rear of the cottages will be the
flower gardens wherein will be grown
the blossoms for house use, a feature
of life there; also the vegetable gar
dens, while the poultry and dairy farms
in the San Fernando valley, from
which the hotel draws these supplies,
VIII be enlarged TO correspond. "A III
tie later, so that it may be finished at
the same time as the new wing, the din
ing room will be considerably extended
to afford room for the additional guests.
These extensions will be carried out on
the east and west ends, which were
originally constructed with this idea in
view.
Detached Bungalows
It is also planned to have in the rear
of the hotel, facing the street to the
west, a series of small detached bun
galows, which will be rented to guests
for family use, but meals will be served
from the hotel dining room.
| This is the second addition made to
Hotel Hollywood in the last few
months. Work has really just been
| finished on the raising of the roof and
the conversion of the third story attic
into rooms. These are all new, never
having been occupied so far.
| The hotel Is one of the most popular
in or about Los Angeles, and bookings
for the coming season have already
well taxed it's capacity. The new addi~
tion will scarcely provide for the de-
mands now filed.
