Synopsis
Excerpt from The St. Regis Hotel, Fifth Avenue and Fifty-Fifth Street, New York City
A new standard of excellence in accommodations is evident through out the building, while in blending the utilitarian with the artistic features harmony is the principal impression sought. The structure, the equip ment, the materials in which it is finished, the decorations, the furniture, the various provisions for light and air, all bear a part of the ensemble, and with all modesty it may be said that as an example of excellence the st. Regis need fear no comparison with any public or private building in this city, certainly not/with any hotel the world over. To particularize the esthetic features is reserved until later in this article, but generally speaking it may be said that the style Of the interior is that of Louis XV and XVI, which periods as exemplified particularly at Versailles are still the unrivaled examples Of artistic quintessence. In minor respects the style was not followed with extreme rigor, the departure, so to say.
