YOUNG’S PRIVATE HOTEL

What once constituted the big fourstory boot factory of Robert. Hannah, Ltd., 260 a. Lambton quay, has now been transformed into one of the largest private hotels in Wellington to suit the incoming proprietor, Mr Young, of Wellington, so well and favourably known as hotel, restaurant, and boardinghouse-keeper. Almost miraculously the and _tho builder have provided therein sufficient bedroom accommodation _ for over a hundred guests and dining accommodation for nearly 200 persons. After leaving the ground floor, whore the fine kitchen is arranged, and storerooms, no less than three flights of bedrooms are reached, each with its accompanying bathrooms, sitting-rooms, lounges, and linen presses, all leading to conveniently-situated fireescapes. Every room is ventilated and steel-lined, therefore fire and vermin proof, whilst Messrs Strange and Company, Limited, have supplied such items of linen, bedding, and furniture, as makes Young's Private Hotel accommodation to be second to none in the matter of home comfort and cleanliness. The proprietor is catering at the modest price of eighteen shillings to one pouncl per week for board and lodging and ninepence for meals. A great feature of Young’s is its central and convenient situation, being within closest call of the wharf, G.P.0., and railway stations. •
