The famed Hotel del Coronado was the first structure by the famed architecture firm Reid Brothers. It was also the first hotel to have electric lighting. The hotel provided electricity for the entire Coronado Beach community until the 1920's. Very rare most especially in this condition and with the large folding map intact. None of the bibliographies including OCLC mention this issue of the promotional with the ten full-page plates. Earlier and later issues are listed.

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's many notable guests were Elisabeth of Bavaria who visited four times and Francis Joseph I of Austria in 1893. The Hotel built on this success housing the first telephone in Switzerland. In 1975 it closed and its main hall and dining hall were turned into a theatre whilst the Grand Hotel's bedrooms became the National Swiss Audiovisual Museum though this closed in 2008 and left the premises in 2012 to allow for their renovation. The two buildings are classed as cultural monuments. It suffered fires on 29 January 1984 and 28 September 2012. / This property is part of the ensemble Hotel des Alpes-Grand Hotel a monument of national importance. It belongs to Andre Regne better known under the pseudonym of "Dad" who was a key figure in the Montreux nightlife. The Alcazar a true Belle-Epoque jewel was built by the architect Eugene Jost at the end of the 19th century. Added pictures on request.

Several hundred pages with names and residences of guests in ink 28 June 1922 through 15 July 1925. Nearly all leaves filled. Very Good with light wear. Guests come from all over the country but primarily from Georgia Atlanta and Athens areas. "The Cliff House Hotel built in 1882 by Rufus L. Moss Sr. was the first lodging establishment in Tallulah Falls. The hotel served the thriving tourist industry until 1937 when it burned in a kitchen fire" New Georgia Encyclopedia on line. "Overlooking jaw-dropping Tallulah Gorge a 1000-foot chasm carved over millions of years the town of Tallulah Falls was once a bustling resort town that rivaled Niagara Falls. People from all over came to see the awe-inspiring beauty of North Georgia's natural pursuits. Located two hours northeast of Atlanta Tallulah Falls is home to Tallulah Gorge State Park. Best visited in fall when the trees surrounding the abyss turn vibrant shades of red gold and orange the multiple overlooks and hiking and biking trails are world-class. Visitors can clamber for a permit to hike the gorge floor - only 100 are allowed per day - or they can cross it on a swaying suspension bridge 80 feet above the jutting rocks. Pop into the impressive Jane Hurt Yarn Interpretive Center to learn about the area's delicate ecosystem and craggy terrain. The town's namesake falls are a series of waterfalls cascading into the gorge with names such as L'Eau d'Or Hurricane Oceana and Bridal Veil. Each one makes for an incredible photo opportunity" online Exploregeorgia. The Ledger begins the year after a disastrous 1921 fire destroyed much of the Town and nearly all of its historic buildings and hotels. Despite the tragic events the Cliff House Hotel appeared to thrive judging from the evidence in this Ledger. unknown books
