At the entrance of the Carlton Ambassador Hotel in The Hague this poster commemorates the 25th birthday of the small Carlton chain of luxury hotels.
I wrote earlier about the history of the hotel:
In 2004 Mr J. Schoon published a small history (ISBN 90-9018992-0) of the Ambassador. Already in the 19nd century the hotel was set up and operated by Mrs Geertruida Vos, a daughter of the owner of the then famous hotel “Zalm” (Salmon) in Gouda which hotel Salmon was one of the first hotels in the Netherlands. Mrs Vos was very successful and therefor her nickname became “Goudvosje” (“little Gold Fox”).
So the Ambassador has a rich history as a hotel in the Hague.
Today it hosted #TweetUpTheHague Royally:
