SWISS HOTELS
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR, I was delighted to read the Rev. H. A. Hall's letter in reply to the attack of Mr. Peter Blundell on Switzerland. I agree with every word Mr. Hall has written. I have spent many months every year in Switzerland. since the year 1892. I have made prolonged visits to some of the places mentioned by Mr. Hall, and also to Adelboden, Arosa, Davos, Gstadt, Morgins and St. Moritz. I have always found the proprietors of the hotels most attentive and obliging, and in the ease of illness I have been looked after as well as if I had been at home. There is often influenza in Switzerland, as there is in most other places, but I have never found that the outbreak has been of a more severe description than that met with in England or the South of France. As regards dirt, my experience is that Switzerland is the cleanest country in the world, both as regards railways and hotels.
I have been in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, America, and in fact, over a good deal of the world, and I hive often expressed the desire that I might be back again to the Swiss cleanliness. Each time on my way home from
Switzerland, when I have stayed at a first-class French or ,London hotel, ..1 -have at once noticed the look of extreme cleanliness that exists in Swiss hotels.—I am, Sir, &c., Highlands, Haslemere, Surrey.
ED. GIBSON.
[This is in accord with our own experience of Swiss hotels.
