Mark Inn Northeast, Atlanta (Georgia, USA)
We think this property is still there, though frankly Google does not make it easy to find out. We have better things to do! Four of these long (3-1/2″ x 8-1/4″) cards are available, unused, different grades. All are beginning to age. Two are Grade 3 ($2), one is Grade 2 ($3), and the other is Grade 1 ($4).

Faraway Cottage Colony (Bermuda)
Google brings up a few references to this property in 1954, and it seems to be gone now, but the postcards survive: two are available, mailed from what appears to be a hotel booking consolidator to individual travel agents in 1959, asking those agents how many brochures they wanted. The cards each have a USA 3-cent commemorative and partial New York City postmark. Grades: 3

Code: 30900549

Code: 30900550
Price: $2.00
Central Park with Majestic Hotel & Dakota Ap. N.Y. City
Construction began on The Dakota in 1880, and it’s still there, a sad footnote (we won’t go into details) on New York City’s history. Unused and very old Rotograph postcard. Grade: 1

The Delmonico, New York City
From this iconic old and stately hotel, a card mailed in 1959 with stamp, most of the postmark, and additional small inked notation. There’s also a story: the hotel hosted Charles of the Ritz Training School for skin care and beauty, for which (we suppose) persons from all over paid tuition to attend. As part of their package, the students received cards like this that had a mimeographed message on the back, to be sent to invite their own customers to contact the students later to “hear about the new season’s fashions,” and so on. Got that? Grade: 3

Code: 30900555
Price: $4.00
The Glenmere Hotel and Country Club, Terrace Cafe, Chester (New York)
Something of a companion card to 30900552, mailed by the same person several months later (in 1945)–stamp and postmark fully intact. Grade: 2

Code: 30900557
Price: $3.00
The Roosevelt, The Colonial Room (New York City)
The hotel opened in 1924, so the unused B&W card must post-date that–and it’s still going strong, named after President Theodore Roosevelt. Did you know this was (according to the postcard) a Hilton Hotel? Grade: 1

Code: 30900558
Price: $3.00
The Coronado, Miami Beach
From 1954, stamp and clear postmark, but also an ink smudge in the message, and a travel agent’s rubber stamp over the actual stamp. Major corner crease, visible in the photo. Grade: 5

Price: $1.00
Prag, Hotel Goldener Engel on Zeltnergasse, Pulverturm (Powder Gate) (Czech)

Code: 30900563
Price: $4.00
Holiday Inn, Jesup (Georgia, USA)
We don’t know the exact date of this unused card, but it promotes “Free T.V.” and “Free Teletype Reservations,” so it does go back a bit. Grade: 1

Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 30900565

Code: 30900571
Price: $1.00
The Palmer House, Chicago
Now a Hilton, and called by at least one source the “longest continually operating hotel in North America,” the online reviews are great fun to read. Without doubt the property has been there, staid and solid, as long as anyone can remember. Two unattributed cards are available, one unused (Grade: 1, $1) and one mailed in May 1941 with stamp and postmark and wildly inappropriate message (Grade: 2, $2).

Code: 30900572
Price: $2.00
The Stevens, Chicago (USA)
But now The Hilton Chicago, first opened in 1927 and the third largest in the city as of this writing. Unused B&W card with a quaint notation printed in the postage area: “Hand to Floor Clerk for Free Mailing.” Aging. Grade: 2

Code: 30900575
Price: $2.00
Y.M.C.A. Hotel, main lobby, Chicago (USA)
Unfortunately for the Y.M.C.A., a highly reputable organisation, all we think about when we hear the name are the Village People. They do not appear anywhere in this card, mailed in what looks like 1962 (postmark not quite clear). Grade: 1

Code: 30900576
Price: $1.00

Mailed in 2012 with three stamps, two postmarks, and one gold star sticker. Grade: 4
