Frankfurter Hof Grand Hotel De Francfort (vintage travel brochure)
New York, New York American Office International Sleeping Car Co. 1909 Soft Cover Very Good
The Frankfurter Hof remains today a bastion of five-star elegance, so it's especially delightful to find an early brochure advertising it. The brochure measures 3-3/4"x7-3/4" and has lovely color cover art followed by artistic representations of the hotel's amenities in black and white. The front is stamped with the name of a Connecticut travel agency and the brochure, as evidenced by printing on front, was compiled to attract travelers attending the First International Aeronautic Exposition July 10- October, 31, 1909. Aside from some light soil to back and a tiny snip off the lower corner both front and back, the brochure is excellent. Fascinating to see the tariffs for a suite with sitting room, bedroom and bath. The hotel was built in the Italian Renaisscance style with handsome stone staircases and corridors laid with Italian mosaics. The hotel had central heat, gardens, many rooms with fireplaces, a reading room, an American bar, a restaurant garden terrace and a grill room. 15 pages with an ad inside back cover for Robert Koch, Court Jeweler.
