And a couple more hotels from 1907…

As we had three ads for Hong Kong hotels in 1907 I thought why not post one for the Macao Hotel on the Portuguese colony’s then famous and beautiful Praya Grande (well, just lap up those gorgeous old Chinnery’s of the waterfront strip – not long buggered up of course). Up on Shameen Island (where a few charming buildings still stand along the side the rather ugly White Swan Hotel and the truly disgusting American Consulate) in Canton (Guangzhou if you must) was the Victoria (what else to call it in the British Concession!).
