THE PALATINE

 HARKING back to the historical associations of the city resulted in the choice of the word "Palatine" as the name for the leading hotel of the Hudson Valley, for in the beginnings of the city the name had its origin. In the winter of 1708-09, a little party of 53 persons, all in abject poverty came hither under a grant from Queen Anne of England. They were in search of freedom, having been driven from their homes on the Palatinate of the Rhine. They were called the Palatines. Others of their kindred started to join them, but finally took another course, passing over the Mohawk Trail and settling in Utica.

The name was somewhat prophetic, for the Palatine from its inception became more than a mere temporary abode or refuge for a traveler. Your traveler's first impression of it will be that of a comfortable, well equipped hotel serving its guests admirably and he will soon sense that it is at once a home and a community center.

The hotel is most fortunately situated. Withdrawn from the haunts of business and the noise, at a point where the outlook is one of pleasant green lawns, it is yet within easy walking distance of the city's activities. From the veranda and rear rooms is a commanding view of the Hudson as it sweeps majestically on, an unobstructed vista of 20 miles or river, flanked by mountain scenery.
