The Alexander Young, which bears
the name of its late founder in the
largest hotel in Honolulu, was built
and equipped in 1903 at a cost of two
and a half million dollars, and exem'
plifies the latest that modern science
has devised. A stone building, 480
feet long, strictly fireproof, it forms
the most imposing structure in the
city as one approaches on an incoming
steamer; and it occupies an entire
block in the business center.
The corridors, which traverse the
entire length on four of the six floors,
are panelled with Tennessee marble
and paved with Roman mosaic; the
entrance lobby and cafe adjoining
, have paving of white marble. This
is the recognized rendezvous of all
classes. Here military and naval uni
forms mingle with the soberer attire
of the business man and the tourist;
/. while ladies', both residents and visit
iors, are much in evidence. The scene
in the lobby is at all times enlivened
! by selections from the many beauti'
, full flowers for which the islands are
| famous-rare orchids, cups of gold and
other species unknown in northern
climes.
