This wonderful lobby is furnished in

lighted by reflected beams passing
through a richly designed loaded glass
ceiling. Both the Hotel Pennsylvania.
as well as the Hotel Commodore. have
the same transit facilities. l. e..both
have subway as well as railroad serv-
ice. the one the Pennsylvania railroad

There are underground passageways

">HE two largest hotels IN the
world recently opened in
New York City, one. the Hotel
Pennsylvania. opposite the Pennsyl-
vsnia Railroad Terminal at Thirty
third street and seventh avenue. and
the other. the Hotel Commodore. To-
Gated adjacent TO the Grand Central
Terminal. and built directly over both
the Greensboro and Lexington ave
nue. sUoways.
There are so many hundreds OF in
nOvations and conveniences which
have been developed and applied 10
these-the last word in hoteldom-
that one can hardly Judge of the IN
doubted value Of all OF these impor-
tant and elaborate appointments
without having actually visited such
an establishment in person.
Take. for example. the gigantic pro
portions OF the Hotel Pennsylvania
with its 900 rooms and baths. This
hotel can accommodate $500 register
cd guests with rooms. not to mention
several dozen additional small-town
populations. which II can easily en-
terrain in the grand ballroom and it's
six well appointed restaurants. also
numerous private banquet rooms and
private dining rooms not forgetting
the roof garden. which is one OF the
most beautiful and perhaps the larg-
est In the world Besides a capacity
of $500 guests with rooms. 5000 add
tional guests may be entertained IN
the several restaurants, including the
roof garden. or the total capacity OF
$500 guests. which is a respectable
little city all by itself
II you haven't visited one Of these
magnificent and beautifully appointed
twentieth century hotels, you will
probably wish 10 know what con-
veniences are provided for the guest
and with that very object in mind the
writer paid a special visit to these
establishments and enjoyed an after
noon OF from the editorial rub-dub'
amid the towering palms and the
aroma Of one-dollar Havana perfectos
arising from the lounges" reclining
luxuriously on the thOusand-dollar
leather settees which grace the main
lobby.

which extend the full height OF the

provided with an interlock. so tina,

cannot be opened by a servant until
the inner door is shut and locked.

basement floor. where there is a quick
lunch restaurant" which will accom-
modate several hundred guests, who
may for one reason or another wish
to enjoy a ffteen-cent or twenty-five
cent meal.
That is what you call real service.
and both of these hotels are out for
service. with a capital 81" first. last

layout Of the rooms you will find that
these hotels undoubtedly count on
heavy transient traffic. the suites in
most cases consisting of from one TO
three rooms and a bath.
The lower part of the hotel is well
shown in the accompanying illustra-
ton. and of course there are many
rooms and conveniences not shown
for obvious reasons. owing TO their To-
cation on other parts of the mezzanine
floors. etc. which can not be brought
out in the limited size of our illustra-
ton. The mezzanine floors. Just above
the main or street floors. contain the
private Offices. and also there are
sleeping and living quarters on these
floors for the employees.
