In 1840 the town bought a parcel of land on which to build a hostel entitled ‘Chasseur des Alpes’. Over the following years this hostel was enlarged three times to become - in 1855 - the Hotel des Alpes. The main building was designed by Henri Chessex son of the owner and brother of Ami Chessex. The opening of the Hotel led to a tourist boom and in 1861 a railway line was opened between Montreux and Villeneuve calling at Territet. In 1875 a dining hall was added to the building and two years later Ami Chessex chose the architect Louis Maillard later joined by Eugene Jost to build the Grand Hotel beside the Hotel des Alpes. The decor was by Marcel de Chollet. The two buildings were linked by a corridor and soon formed a single structure. / Among the Hotel’s many notable guests were Elisabeth of Bavaria who visited four times and Francis Joseph I of Austria in 1893. The Hotel built on this success housing the first telephone in Switzerland. In 1975 it closed and its main hall and dining hall were turned into a theatre whilst the Grand Hotel’s bedrooms became the National Swiss Audiovisual Museum though this closed in 2008 and left the premises in 2012 to allow for their renovation. The two buildings are classed as cultural monuments. It suffered fires on 29 January 1984 and 28 September 2012. / This property is part of the ensemble Hetel des Alpes-Grand Hotel a monument of national importance. It belongs to Andre Regne better known under the pseudonym of "Dad" who was a key figure in the Montreux nightlife. The Alcazar a true Belle-Epoque jewel was built by the architect Eugene Jost at the end of the 19th century. Added pictures on request.

19106753San Francisco: Putney Haight Telegraph Press; Printed and Bound by the Hicks-Judd Company 1910. Octavo 24 x 16 cm. 31 67-307 pages. Advertisements. Illustration of the Hotel on page 3. Portrait of the author in chef's whites and smoking cap on page 6. ~ FIRST EDITION stated subscription issue. One of the more important and influential early California professional cookbooks marking San Francisco's emergence as a world culinary center. Divided between a menu section Part 1 with two hundred menus and "Extraordinary and Secret Compositions in Culinary Art" Part 2 with more than two thousand recipes. A dose of hyperbole can be assumed regarding the claim to secrecy as at least some of the recipes had appeared in the author's column in The Evening Post whose collaboration is acknowledged on page 18. A sampling: Austrian Soup Bread Berliner Pfannkuchen English Crumpets Velvet Soup Cream of Chicory Soup Green Walnut Confit Bar le Duc Crème au Kirsch Coup St. Jacques Chiffonade Salad Salad Eugenie Okra and Sweet Peppers mistakenly printed twice Tripe à la mode Caen Baron of Lamb Squab Michels Quail Forestiere Fondue Savarin Pineapple Omelette Bohemian Eggs String Beans with Raisins Viennese Carrots Raspberry Souffle Cream Puffs St. Francis. ~ The bibliographer Dan Strehl identified the Alsatian Victor Hirtzler 1874-1931 some time ago in One Hundred Books on California Food and Wine Los Angeles: The Book Collectors 1990 page 21. as "one of the earliest celebrity chefs." Among other means of attracting restaurant clientele "Hirtzler presented seasonal menus demonstrating the highly sophisticated hotel dining of the time" with menus heavily influenced by the haute cuisine of European royal courts. After a sidereal career that included posts at the Winter Palace in St. Petersburg and the royal Belém Palace in Lisbon he had arrived at the St. Francis on Union Square in 1904 and thus endured the catastrophes of 1906 and remained after the rebuilding until 1925 when he retired to Strasbourg. A fuller account is available in David Shields's The Culinarians Chicago: University of Chicago Press 2017 pages 526-529. ~ The didactic "models" presentation of L'Art culinaire is likely intended as a counter to Escoffier's Le guide culinaire a reference text that had recently appeared in an abridged English translation in 1907. Hirtzler's subscription edition of 1910 which includes a list of the patrons who underwrote its publication has become quite scarce. Stamped "Subscription Edition" on the front cover; includes the list of patrons that according to the edition note on page 9 was reserved for subscribers; all of these copies are missing two signatures which accounts for the pagination gap. ~ In publisher's tan cloth with black lettering. Light rubbing and extremity wear to covers. The front paste-down bears an ownership inscription in red pencil "Property of Marge deYoung Portland Ore." and the free front endpaper a rubber-stamped name and address of an Oregon paperback exchange.
