The Newtown bee., 1909-10-22

Newtown automobile and driving
 parties are loud in praise of the din-
 ner service at the Hotel Green in
 Danbury.~ Among Connecticut's s
 many fine hostelries, Hotel Green
 stands out boldIy as one that is at
 once beautiful in architecture, rich
 and luxurious in appointment and
 conducted along such liberal lines
 as to have earned for it a wide and increasing reputation among travel CTS as a good hotel, chasing second to none in the state. The exterior presents a pleasing aspect of sturdy
 beauty. A wide marble stairway
 leads up to the main portal, fianked
 on either side by massive Colonial
 pillars supporting a gabled portico roof. Entering we find the lobby,
 foored with art tiles and covered here and there with rich Oriental rugs, extending nearly across the en- tire width of the building and, by an artistic arrangement of plliars, nat ural potted palms and luxurious fur niture, is divided into imaginary rooms-the main lobby with the desk and the Managers Office, a la dies and gentlemen's writing rooms and a general lounging room. The left, or north wing of the building comprises the general dining rooms, one done in Flemish Oak with red tiled floor, presenting an altogether rich and cozy appearance which at once cOnduceS to ease an hearty appreciation of the meal. Another dining room is finished in lighter tones in pleasing contrast with the former, while on the right occupy ing the south wing of the main floor is a spacious banqueting hall for re- captions, balls and private parties. In the rear are the kitchens-large, light and airy,-models of complete ness and sanitary cleanliness. Of especial interest to nearly all busi- men is the branch office, located in the building, of Messrs Boody, Me- Lellan & Co.,, members of the New York Stock Exchange, where accur- ate market reports are received by direct wire from New York. A good ly portion of one of the upper floors was designed for and is occupied by the Danbury club, select organiza- tion of Danbury's prominent manu-, lecturers and business men, where visitors are warmly welcomed and cordially entertained. The sleeping rooms, 75 in number, are all large, light, airy, cheerful apartments with running hot and cold water and tele- phone in every room. These may be had singly or en suite with private bath. Mahogany, artistically blend ing with the rich warm colorings ot Oriental floor coverings forms the, dominant note in the furnishings, while many rooms are equipped with massive, solid brass bedsteads. Every thing is done with an artistic taste that pleases the eye, the while 1t breathes of comfort and rest. While richness, taste and elegance in ap- pointment is everywhere apparent, particular attention is paid to the culinary department. This most lm- portant feature is presided over by a chef of known experience and skill. The best that the market affords is at all times available and prepared with an art and exactitude that makes a meal at Hotel Green an event of gastronomic pleasure and delight. An ever increasing patron age of the critical travelling public and automobile tourists attests the popularity of a house which, under the able management and supervis- ion of F. A. Cantwell, has so quickly won its way to popular favor, as a house conducted solely with the ob- feet of pleasing the public. It IS significant that every business man in Danbury is proud of its Hotel Green. Every little detail that makes for comfort and the we'll being of it's guests has been looked after and trained, courteous attendants are on hand to care for their wants. Lo- ,ated in the heart of Danbury, the nat manufacturing center of the country, on the city's principal .horoughfare which forms the main | automobile highway north and south Hotel Green is one of the most popu-
