SECOND COPY, 1899. 2nd COPY DELIVERED TO THE JUL 20 1899 Library of Congress THE IMPERIAL HOTEL. PETOSKEY, MICHIGAN. THE IMPERIAL HOTEL, PETOSKEY. The Imperial is peculiar in its construction, being built around a handsome residence, but so arranged that all the rooms of the residence are brought into practical use, making the interior at once cosy, attractive and home-like to a degree seldom experienced in The standard guide; Mackinac Island and northern lake resorts http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.03298 Library of Congress hotel construction. The home atmosphere of the original building remains, and gives the dominating character of the entire building. In the handsome double parlors of the former residence, with the open grate fire to cheer one on frosty September mornings, is felt the genuine “at home” feeling. It was a happy thought, that of rounding the north end of the east wing, and a happier one that led to the location of a pleasant sitting room here on the second floor, which has been claimed by both ladies and invalids. It is a particularly cheerful spot, getting the early morning and late evening sun, abundance of lake breeze, and beautiful views of lake and land. THE IMPERIAL HOTEL. PETOSKEY, MICHIGAN. TOWER END OF THE IMPERIAL OFFICE. The Imperial Hotel is perfectly equipped and is one of the most up-to-date hotels in this country. It has one hundred and sixty-five bed chambers, eighty-four of which are equipped with steam heat. It is lighted with electric light throughout. The Imperial is five stories high, and a modern, quickly-running elevator carries guests to their respective floors. The furnishings are of the best grade and of a quality rarely found in resort hotels; in fact, many pronounce it the most handsomely furnished hotel in northern Michigan. There are twenty-one rooms with bath and toilet connected. New sanitary plumbing is a notable feature. An especially attractive feature of the Imperial Hotel is its commanding position on an eminence, but a block away from the Grand Rapids & Indiana Railway station, and its north and west fronts afford a beautiful view of the waters or Lake Michigan. The standard guide; Mackinac Island and northern lake resorts http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.03298 Library of Congress The exterior at once impresses one as very inviting, and the interior even more so. All bedrooms are light and airy, and perfect cleanliness is maintained. The superior excellence of our table is directly attributable to “good home cooking” style in the preparation of foods. We serve the finest fresh lake fish and our method of planking whitefish is unequalled. The cheerful dining room overlooks the bay. Write us for our rooms and rates circular.
