Published by 1898-1910., Territet & Montreux,, 1898
Seller: Jeff Weber Rare Books, Montreux, VAUD, Switzerland
A look into the turn-of-the-century activities of a major hotel and the registers for recording guests from 1898-1910. These registers offer a primary resource to study the activities of the Hotel des Alpes & Grand Hotel, Territet & Montreux. FIVE ALBUMS: [1] Hotel des Alpes & Grand Hotel. Livre des Etrangers. Approx. 26x37 cm. Unpaginated. Original quarter calf, maroon gilt-stamped boards. This is an alphabetical register of guests, showing the room number, date of arrival, the guest names, home city, number of persons in the party (usually 1 or 2). Written in a clerk's hand. As one might expect, the list of guests shows largely European origins, but other guests originate from as far away at Bombay and the U.S.A. [2] Livres d'arrivees. Album dated 1904. Approx. 31x41 cm. 600 pp. Brown linen. Manuscript entries from pages 1-397. The entries are dated 1905-1908 and are chronological. Again, the main information here is last names and cities of origin, as is usual. There is an accounting of the number of guests allowing a statistical analysis of the guest list. [3] Grand Hotel Territet, arrivees. Approx. 26x36 cm. Unpaginated. Black cloth. Inset red leather title label stamped in gilt. Contains manuscript entries throughout, from 1898 through 1901. The first names written in the ledger are: L. A. le Naharadja, Kapurlhala (India), Colonel Marshall (India), Dewan Daolet Ram (India). Dr. Louis Huysmans (1844-1915), Bruxelles, was a guest on Sept. 4, 1898. [Louis Huysmans was best known for his loyalty to the monarchy and his patriotism. After the outbreak of the First World War, he went into exile with his relatives in France and lived in the seaside resort of Sainte-Adresse, the seat of the Belgian government in exile.] [4] Grand Hotel Territet, Livre des Etrangers. Approx. 31x44 cm. Unpaginated. Bound in ledger format, leather applied to the upper and lower parts of the binding, maroon gilt-stamped cover label, pale brown (tan) cloth over boards. Filled with entries in the first 1/3 of the tome. Shop label of Papeterie Librairie Chs. Serex, Vevey. Entries date from August 25, 1905 through September 22, 1909. Clerk hand. Shows names & cities for each entry. [5] Journal. 1904-1910. Approx. 34x47 cm. Shop label of [Papeterie Librairie] Chs. Serex, Vevey. Foliated: 397 ff. Black (or dark brown) cloth, red cloth gilt-stamped cover label; edges worn, front joint mended with kozo. Internally very good. This is, perhaps, the most interesting of the registers. This particular one is unique among the five registers as this one details the operation of the hotel itself, who they hired and/or what was supplied. Categories shown include: Cuisine (kitchen) ["Chocolat Peter" etc., Cave (wine: "G. Masson", "Beauregard" [wine], "Eaux de Montreux", "Blanchot" [white wine], "Gallo"), accounting/tax/ new constructions/ lighting [eclairage], heating [chauffage], building maintenance [entretien immeubles], New York Herald [reclamer], laundry room [buanderie], etc. / General Notes Regarding the History of this Hotel: The Hotel des Alpes-Grand Hotel or Residence des Alpes is an assemblage of buildings which formed a former palace in the town of Territet in the Montreux municipality of Switzerland. In 1840 the town bought a parcel of land on which to build a hostel entitled 'Chasseur des Alpes'. Over the following years this hostel was enlarged three times to become - in 1855 - the Hotel des Alpes. The main building was designed by Henri Chessex, son of the owner and brother of Ami Chessex. The opening of the Hotel led to a tourist boom and in 1861 a railway line was opened between Montreux and Villeneuve, calling at Territet. In 1875 a dining hall was added to the building and two years later Ami Chessex chose the architect Louis Maillard (later joined by Eugene Jost) to build the Grand Hotel beside the Hotel des Alpes. The decor was by Marcel de Chollet. The two buildings were linked by a corridor and soon formed a single structure. / Among the Hotel'.
