The travelling public Judges a city by
Its hotels. Denver can stand this test,
and perhaps for this reason more than
for any any other, her fame is con-
stantly spreading and her hospitality
Is increasingly taxed with each sue
ceeding year.
The Albany hotel. having perhaps
the choicest possible location in the
city, is typical example of modern up
to-dateness. On Seventeenth street,
the great banking and otlice-building
street, between the Union depot and
Broadway, opposite the great Equitable
building, it is equally convenient for
business and pleasure. 1t is also i'm
mensely large, having frontage OF
$50 feet on Seventeenth street. and
300 feet on Stout.
The management of the Albany Is
ultra progressive, every requirement of
the public being met as soon as it man
ifests itself. Its extensive and growing
patronage has demanded frequent
changes. for its daily list OF guests
exceeds in numbers the population OF
many towns that have long had Sc.
cure place on our maps.
Entering the Albany from Seven

furnished with large heavy round ma.
