{ 1 he censtfuction of the addition to
the SFarGman Park Hotel has been
the demand for more large apart
!. ments than were available in the
main building An outstanding
feature OF the hotel situation In
Washington Is the large number OF
retired business men from other
sections of the country who have
chosen Washington as a permanent
home and prefer hotel residence to
the cares OF a private house .
Completion OF the new addition
to the Wardman Park Hotel will
mean that this house viii have an
average population of 1900 guests.
1t Is estimated, while 800 more
viii be accommodated by the three
other majnr Wardman hotels, the
Carlton, the Hay.Adams and the

thus bringing the total average of
Wardman guests to around 1000
daily.
