The Hotel de la Paix, Paris, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The Hotel de la Paix, Paris, 1862. The Hotel de la Paix...is situated on the north side of the Boulevard des Capucines...[it] is built in the form of an equilateral triangle...The western rounded corner comprises a pavilion destined for several series of apartments more strictly private than the rest, with separate entrances. The principal entrance to the hotel is by the Corinthian colonnade in the centre of the boulevard facade...There are no less than 444 windows in this entire triangular frontage, exclusive of those of the ground floor and the entresol, to be let out as shops and warehouses...We have mentioned cursorily the superiority of the situation of this new hotel; we can only allude in the same manner to some of the agreeable accessories of this prince of caravansaries, comprising upwards of six hundred chambers, such as the electric telegraph, acoustic tubes, machinery for lifting luggage to the different stones, apparatus for raising over-fatigued or disabled travellers to their particular floor, letter-box, commissioners, interpreters, money-changer, carriages - in fine, everything that can contribute to the comfort or satisfy the caprices of the most fastidious'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
