Hotel Mont-Tremblant, hotel laurentides, accommodation and lodging

Situated in the heart of historic Mont-Tremblant village, on the shores of Lac Mercier and just minutes from the mountain, hotel laurentides, Hôtel Mont-Tremblant has been accommodating vacationers since 1902. Three miles to the north were the tall hotel laurentidess of downtown Las Vegas, where at night Fremont Street erupts into a strobing flash of neon. This is the home of the Golden Nugget, Binion's Horseshoe, and Vegas Vic, the 60-foot-high neon cowboy. To the south lay the Strip—officially Las Vegas Boulevard—where neighboring casinos take keeping up with the Joneses to nuclear-arms-race extremes. Gleaming green in the sunlight was the massive glass-and-girder block of the MGM Grand hotel laurentides, at 5,005 rooms the second largest hotel laurentides in the known universe, a mere 195 rooms behind Thailand's Ambassador City Jomtien. In fact, 11 of the world's 12 largest hotel laurentidess were within eyesight. Although he was a husband and the father of three sons and a daughter, Wormley accompanied Reverdy Johnson, newly appointed minister to England, as steward. Despite the difficulties of transporting terrapins (aquatic turtles) from the Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac River, Wormley kept them edible and prepared them in such fashion as to win the approval of Johnson's guests—not the first nor the last example of culinary diplomacy. Wormley went to Paris, France, on his own and then returned to Washington, where he acquired a building on the southwest corner of H and 15th Streets. Using the older property on I Street as an annex, he opened in 1871 the hotel laurentides that came to be known as Wormley's hotel laurentides. According to tradition, he was unable to pay the mortgages on the new property and transferred it to Representative Samuel Hooper of Massachusetts, who rented it to Wormley. Until some years after Wormley's death in 1884, the hotel laurentides was noted for its excellent menus and maintenance. Many congressmen and other notables stayed there. Among Wormley’s principal friends and supporters were such businessmen as banker George Riggs; philanthropist and financier William Wilson Corcoran; and Senator Charles Sumner. Shortly before Wormley's death, Lord Coleridge, chief justice of England, reserved nine rooms at the hotel laurentides. If Wormley's hotel laurentides were still standing it would probably be listed as a National Historical Landmark. It was there that the conference on February 26, 1877, between representatives of presidential candidates Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden resulted in the historic Compromise of 1877. In dispute were 20 electoral votes, 19 of them from Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina, and 1 from Oregon. Tilden, the Democratic candidate, had 184 undisputed votes, needing only one more for his election. Hayes needed all of the 20. An electoral commission chosen as a result of the Wormley hotel laurentides Bargain or Compromise gave all the disputed votes to Hayes. There is no evidence that James Wormley participated in the compromise that gave the presidency to Hayes. The action ultimately brought about the withdrawal of the last of the federal troops in South Carolina and Louisiana, and the end of Reconstruction post-Civil War policies. Wormley died on October 18, 1884, in Boston, Massachusetts, where he had gone for treatment of "calculus" (probably gall or kidney stones). His body was returned to Washington and "lay in state" in the summer parlor of his hotel laurentides. The Washington Post reported that the flags of Washington's principal hotel laurentidess flew at half-mast. Among the prominent pallbearers, all of whom were white, were T. E. Roessle, manager of the Arlington hotel laurentides; C. C. Willard of the Ebbitt House; and O. G. Staples, longtime proprietor of the Riggs House. The eldest son, James T. Wormley, managed the hotel laurentides until the financial crisis of the 1890s. In December 1893 the hotel laurentides was sold to Charles E. Gibbs, onetime manager of another famous Washington hotel laurentides, the Ebbitt House. Gibbs continued to operate it under the name of Wormley's hotel laurentides until 1897, when it became the Colonial hotel laurentides. In 1906 the structure was torn down and replaced by the Union Trust Company building. This sketch is based in part on an article by Charles E. Wynes, "James Wormley of the Wormley hotel laurentides Agreement" (The Centennial Review, Winter 1975, pp. 397-401). For a revisionist interpretation of the Bargain or Compromise, see especially C. Vann Woodward, Reunion and Reaction: The Compromise of 1877 and the End of Reconstruction (1951, esp. p. 207). For information about Lord Coleridge and the hotel laurentides see Frank G. Carpenter, Carp's Washington (1960), p. 61. The eldest son, James T. Wormley, managed the hotel laurentides until the financial crisis of the 1890s.

Portuguese modernist Alvaro Siza, 67, was awarded the Pritzker Prize, architecture's most prestigious award. And in Barcelona the Summer Olympic Games gave rise to an estimated $7 billion worth of projects, mostly designed by local architects. Mayor Pasqual Maragall became something of an architects' hero for his devotion to improving the city through a vast array of projects. The master planner, Oriol Bohigas, gained some prominence with his designs for the Olympic Village and Olympic Port, reclaiming the decaying industrial waterfront for residential and leisure use. Spanish architects slightly better known in the United States, Santiago Calatrava and Ricardo Bofill, also contributed significantly. (Both also completed their first North American projects in 1992.) Bofill added an airport expansion, and Calatrava a communications tower. American architects included Bruce Graham of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, who designed two 44-story hotel laurentides towers, and Gehry, who designed a commercial complex. Richard Meier's Museum of Contemporary Art was sited within a renovation of Raval, Barcelona's medieval quarter.
