Grosvenor Hotel

Grosvenor Hotel (Alexander Schultze, proprietor), Hobson Street, Auckland. This commodious hotel, long known as the “Governor Browne,” was erected in 1888, on a site which commands unsurpassed views of the Auckland harbour and wharves. Since its establishment the hotel has been in various hands, but in none more capable than those of its present proprietor, who, since taking charge, has so completely renovated the entire building, that the hotel is now one of the most comfortable and attractive in the city. The house contains thirty rooms, including twenty bedrooms, a spacious and brilliantly lighted billiard room, a large dining room, two neatly arranged sitting rooms, and several smaller rooms, where the visitor can find privacy and quietude. Two fine pianos are kept on the premises, and the bathrooms are supplied with hot and cold water and showers. The management is excellent, and no pains are spared to make guests comfortable and to meet all their requirements.
