Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-07-03


Spanish-is truly an appropriate name
for one of the best hotels in Douglas
1t is rightly called "the biggest little
hotel in Arizona, located on Tenth
street next to the First National Bank
building.
The Palomar has q homelike al
mosphere pervading it seldom found
in hotels. When one enters a room
at the Palomar he feels as if it
really belongs to him and that he is
at home.
The Indian and Spanish design,
typical of the old west and the bor-
der, is carried out in the lobby of the
hotel in interesting and well arr s :
ed pictures, colorful rugs and draper
les which add much to the lobby. The
lobby is large and we'll lighted and
ventilated. Plate glass windows are
across the entire frontage of the lob
by offering an unobStructed view OF
the street and providing good high :
ing. 1t is equipped with comfortable
chairs and lounges.
The ladies' reception room is ad-
jacent to the lobby, and is furnish
ed in the same homelike way as the
rest of the hotel
Many of the rooms are en-Suite and
have twin or double beds, shower OF
tub baths. All the front rooms have
French windows opening out upon q
large porch which is a delightful place
on which to spend a quiet evening.
Mr.. and Mrs. Garcia are ex-com-
mercial people and know what "home-
less" means, therefore the slogan, "a
home away from home" The manage
ment invites every commercial ]. IN
on the road to come and bring his
wife where she will be the guest as
long as she stays, of Mr.. and Mrs
Garcia. They appreciate visit wheth-
er you stay with them or not. They
are glad to have everyone inspect
this beautiful and comfortable hotel
The Palomar maintains a car for the
convenience of all guests.
Mr.. Garcia wants it understood that
mistake<w was made, in an article
printed on June in regard to "any
person in distant city, concerning
hotel accomr1od odationS here. He says
'Tle answer should not be disc Jtlr
aging as we are equipped to accom-
modate all travellers in a first class
way regardless of rank" +" "They can't
be any too good and think the WI Z.
er should have made tour of inspect
ion before sending in the article he
did," The answer on hotel accommo-
dationS to persons in distant cities
would have been good and are good as
Douglas, for its size cannot be beat in
regard to hotels.
The Palomar is the only hotel in
the city where one can sit out IT
doors and enjoy the wonderful Arr
zona evenings. Attractive and conf
Portable rustic chairs have been lllao
ed on the walk in front of the hotel
for the use of guests.
Mr.. Garcia makes it a point to see
that there are no dull evenings at tile
hotel. There is card playing, music
and dancing in the lobby and reception
room giving the Palomar the CLAM
or of a. resort hotel. It is in the heart
of the city and only five m :,
walk from the trains. Each room in
the hotel has its individual furnishi'l2s
