I want to thank Barbara for this heads-up on searching. I suppose the hotel had not yet been built at the time Baedeker had written that tour guide. I've ordered a later edition in hope it has more information on this residential hotel. I want to include it as a location in Twain's Geography but I've just discovered a technical glitch that prevents me from adding images. The advertising image is perfect but leaves me a bit confused as to the relationship between The Prince of Wales Hotel and the De Vere Hotel.
