The Grosvenor Hotel (W. W. Middleton, proprietor), Blenheim. This excellent hotel, which is one of the most popular in the province, is situated in a central position in High Street, almost opposite Seymour Squqre. The business was established in the year 1880 by Captain Priddle; but the building was subsequently burned down, and afterwards rebuilt, and the present commodious house was renovated in 1905. The “Grosvenor” is a two-storied building of wood and iron, stands on a concrete foundation, and possesses a frontage of about 150 feet. There are over thirty rooms, including four public and two private sitting rooms, a commercial room, a large dining room, about twenty bedrooms, and two bathrooms with hot and cold water laid on. The bar room, which is a well-appointed apartment, is stocked at all times with the very best brands of ales, spirits, and wines. There is also large stabling and paddocking accommodation. The whole business is under the personal supervision of Mr. Middleton, who exercises scrupulous care in attending to the needs and wishes of his numerous guests. The Grosvenor Hotel is used as the meeting place of the clubs, societies and associations of the district.
