In company with weekly news-
paper people from all over. Ontario
we spent several days recently at
Toronto's Royal York Rotel. The
original hotel building, which is one
of the largest in the Beitish Em-
pire, is familiar to most Western
Ontario people. Rowelier, the new
wing, which has been under con-
struction for many months, and
which will be open for the first
time next week, is a. revelation:
Canada from, sea to sea, its• at-
mosphere, history, traditions and
residents, are vividly portrayed in
a distinctive Canadian decorative
theme. The addition contains 400
rooms and will cost about .$10,000,-
000,
From strikingly-designed public
rooms, named and decorated for
the provinces and territories of the
Dominion, to the Canadian Room,
the largest of its kind in the coun-
try and the keystone of the theme,
a decorative ",pattern of Canada"
is mended in a score of varying.
and dramatic fortis.
To capture a true Canadian at-
mosphere, native wood panellings,
tooled leather hides emblazoned
with authentic western cattle
brands, French-Canadian tapes-
tries and previecial and native
handicrafts are utilized in an exe
pressive interplay of texture and
color, producing a totally Ca,nadian
impression in a setting of elegance.
