RICHARDSON'S EMPIRE HOTEL, CHRISTCHURCH, In Opening the New Hotel, I have much pleasure in drawing the attention of COMMERCIALS AND TOURISTS to its many advantages. Built of Brick and Stone, with all modern improvements, and BRICK SAMPLE ROOMS attached, it affords comfort and security not to be found in the antiquated structures that exist in many places. Centrally situated, commanding easy access to Post and Telegraph Offices, Banks, and Cab Stand, having entrances from three leading thoroughfares, viz., HIGH, CASHEL, & HEREFORD STREETS, makes it the Commercial Rendezvous of Christchurch. The Cuisine is under the able charge of Mons. DUMALE (late chef to His Excellency Sir William Jervois). The general arrangements being in keeping, I confidently solicit your patronage. Comments from the Christchurch Licensing Bench :— "As a Commercial House, the hotel and general management would be a credit to any city in the colonies." The reputation of my Cellar is too well known to need comment. P. RICHARDSON, Proprietor. |
