Your rooms are large and airy, with commodious closets. The filtered air which flows ceaselessly through your apartments is tempered to just the right temperature throughout the year. Your luggage is unpacked by the deft hand of valet or maid, sent by the Management to assist you in getting settled. Your rooms and furnishings speak quiet elegance and true home comfort. Your wishes are as completely catered to as if the house was your private residence, and every deferential servant belonged to your personal establishment. It is this courtesy which is the very spirit of hospitality; the reflection of the Management, whose grasp of the essence of service has made the Congress Hotel a veritable Home of a Thousand Homes. [Illustration: Lobby-- Meeting Place of the World's Prominent People] No hotel in the world contains within itself so many features of unusual interest as the Congress Hotel and Annex. A walk from your apartments will convince you instantly. From the Grand Lobby, a magnificent achievement in architecture and decoration, where onyx, mosaic and gold-bossed pilasters uprear a vaulted roof of extreme beauty, you may stroll down the Marble Hallway, famed throughout the civilized world; past Pompeiian Rooms, wherein gleams the Tiffany Fountain, green crystal, limned with dull gold; past the Pool, by whose quiet side you may place your tiny table and lunch in delicious meditation, meanwhile observing the perfectly appointed grill; past the great Elizabethan Room, a page torn from the Golden Age of English History and on into a private art gallery, perfectly appointed, where the best modern masters gladly hang their chef d'ouvres. Along the opposite side of the Marble Hallway are small shops, exquisite, delicate, inviting inspection to displays of jewelry, millinery, confections, articles of virtu and bric a brac culled from the workshops of the world. [Illustration: Elizabethian Room A True Period Room] The Grand Dining Room, decorated in the style of Louis XVI is of itself a feature well worthy of detailed description; the German Room--Pomp-Grill Room--than which no hotel in the New World has a more interesting dining room. Upon the walls of the Lobby and in the reception rooms are hung originals from the brushes of such masters as Detaille, Achilles Fould, Grolleron and Chelminski. [Illustration: Pompeian Grill]
