HOTEL LAFAYETTE
[Welland Tribune, 22 May 1896]
The Hotel Lafayette, the new hotel erected at the upper bridge by Mr. Hawley, will be opened to the public on Monday next, Queen’s birthday, by that popular and genial landlord, Harry Williams. The new house looms up high above all surrounding buildings, giving a finer view of the Falls than that of any other hotel on the Canadian side. The interior has been fitted with costly brussels and axminster carpets, beautiful parlor suits, elegant oak bedroom furniture with brass and iron bedsteads-everything new and bright as a dollar, from the basement bar to the cool and airy garden that adorns the roof. Elevators run by water power carry guests to every floor. The basement is devoted to the bar, barber shop and lavatory; the first floor to office, dining rooms kitchen, etc., all of which are supplied with the most modern outfit that money can buy.
The upper rooms contain beautiful front parlors and forty-four bedrooms, with bath and toilet rooms on every floor. Rooms are nicely arranged for using singly or en suite. One great feature of the Lafayette is that mineral spring water, hot and cold is supplied to every room. No other water is used for any purpose about the house-except of course the water power to run the elevator. Guests will fully appreciate this feature, as it means much from a sanitary point of view. The Hotel Lafayette will be under the experienced personal supervision of Mr. and Mrs. Williams, and will rank among the leading hotels of this great watering place.
