The Prince of Wales Hotel
is a fully-licensed High-Class Residential Hotel, with accommodation for 140 visitors; it is luxuriously furnished, and has a service so excellent, with prices so moderare, that visitors staying in London for a longer period than a few days often find it to their interest to reside at the above rather than at the larger or more expensive centrally-situated Hotels. Arrangements can be made for Motor Garage, Stabling, etc., in the immediate vicinity.
