The New Cambridge Hotel will be officially open to receive guests to-morrow, Saturday, April 11th. Recent years have wrought a great change in Cambridge Terra«e, modern city planning having trnasformed it from a once untidy thoroughfare into a spacious boulevard, which is a delight not only to the citizens, but to those who visit Wellington. In keeping with these new surroundings modern building has played its part, and since the transformation many fine buildings have been erected, thus gaining for the locality favourable recognition ■as a shopping and business area. Probably the crowning achievement to date is the erection of the New Cambridge Hotel, which will be officially opened to receive guests tomorrow. Solidly built in ferro-concrete, yet of pleasing exterior design, this fine modern three-storey building has been erected for the Proprietors (Messrs. J. Staples & Co.), and offers all facilities of a first-class house to the.travelling public. As regards the interior portion of the building, which is elaborately finished, special attention has been paid to the comfort of guests, and to allow of facile working and service all the latest modern devices have been applied, including an electric lift, whilst hot and cold water is installed in each bedroom. A spacious and tastefully furnished Lounge gives a pleasing aspect on entering, while the welllighted Dining Room affords the acme of comfort and is designed to give quick service to patrons. Some 58 Bedrooms allow ample accommodation for guests. The building was erected by the Fletcher Construction Co. The Plumbing and Electrical work was undertaken by A. & T. Burt, Ltd-; whilst Messrs. Hill & Jackson were responsible for the Painting and Glazing. Messrs. Francis Holmes, Ltd., supplied the Cement, the Sand and Shingle earning from the Pits of Messrs. Tonks & Andrews, of Kilbirnie. Waygood Otis (N.Z.) Ltd. installed the Lift; and Structural and Electrical Supplies, Ltd., of 19 Tory Street, provided the Linolite for the Hotel Bar Counters. The Furniture and Furnishings were the work of the Scoullar Company. The Gas installation was carried out by the Wellington Gas Company; and Messrs. Shacklocks, Ltd., supplied the Kitchen Range. An additional safeguard that the Hotel will be conducted on strictly modern principles lies in the fact that the licensee is Mrs. Dwyer, formerly 'of the Empire Hotel, so well known to the travelling public of New Zealand. As a last word, the New Cambridge is only a minute's walk from the! City's business area, being adjacent to the Courtenay Place Tram Terminus, which serves as a splendid stepping-off place to those oh "pleasure bent" as well as busy folk whose visit is solely of commercial >»•"•«• STAY AT THE NEW CAMBRIDGE WHEN VISITING WELLINGTON.
