It is too early as yet to give even a rough iden, of the bullding, but there will be about fifty guest rooms in addition to the usual public rooms. Each room will have its own bath and sanitary conveniences, and the utmost pri- vacy and comfort will be assured. The problem of providing accom- modation for small families is also being borne in mind.
The aite for this new hotel is in the Tung Shan district, just off the main road to this area, within easy reach of the city, yet suflici- ently far removed as to be beyand reach of the bustle and hustle of the crowd..
Idens are also entertained for providing detached houses in con- hexlon with this hotel, for those who may desire to be in a group with personal friends, or for the family man. These housco will be in close proximity to the hotel.
