Guest Room of the Hotel de Paris

Louis created guest rooms with an eye to comfort and a continuation of escape from the rough and tumble mining town. The guest rooms were roomy, each containing one or two double beds, a comfortable chair or a rocking chair (sometimes both), an elegant armoire, and a sink with hot and cold running water. Each room also had a lovely view of the surrounding mountains, whether to the North or to the South of the hotel. Rooms were lit with gas lamps early in the hotel's life--after 1893, with electricity. There were toilets at each end of the second floor for the guests, while one room contained a full bathroom identical to that in Louis' quarters, including a large, deep tub.
