LONDON.
UPPER NORWOOD.
NEAR THE CRYSTAL PALACE.
THE QUEEN’S HOTEL.
rriHIS unique establishment stands unrivalled for the exquisite
picturesqueness and beauty of its situation; its command¬
ing and central position ; and the commodiousness and complete¬
ness of its general arrangements. Delicate persons, to whom a
light bracing air, charming scenery, close vicinity to the Crystal
Palace and its amusements, and quiet seclusion, would be an
invaluable boon, will find, in this establishment, their wishes
fully realised.
“The Queen’s Hotel, at Upper Norwood, is like a Private Royal
Residence, managed with marvellous quietness, and is replete with all
domestic comforts and appliances ; being a veritable home for individuals
as well as families. Lately there have been added some new rooms of
magnificent proportions, suitable for balls, wedding breakfasts, public
dinners, &c. Ladies and gentlemen can make use of a most delightful
coffee room for meals, overlooking the beautiful grounds. For gentlemen,
there are billiard and smoking rooms, and also a private club. It deserves
the special attention of the nobility and gentry, and their families, who
may be seeking the means of restoration to health, both of mind and
body, without going far from London.”—From the Court Journal.
