Hurray. Was this an area frequented by rich Texas vacationers seeking cool summer weather in the pre-airconditioning days? Many businesses seem Texas connected in their customer signage.

Hmm--I guess I'm missing the Texas connection. What are you seeing that I'm not? (Sure, Beaumont is a city in SE Texas, but the site explains the name: Beau mont = beautiful mountain.)
What a great restoration job compared to the pre-restoration photo's in Bearbee's link.
Looking at other photos in the photostream you've managed to capture the special look/feeling comes with towns nestled in the Rockies in both countries. I haven't been to the European Alps and don't know if the feeling is the same in Alpine villages. I didn't get this same 'aura', or whatever it is, from Spanish and French towns in the Pyrenees.

Good that it was restored rather than destroyed.
Beaumont. Hmmm, Beau mont. That there's French, in'nit.
History Beaumont Hotel
Did you try the Kung-Fu Girl Riesling? It's not half bad.
"HOTEL"
Many a man climbed the stair
Behind many a twitching behind,
In the hotel that held the fairest fair
Who sold the bump and grind.
Good that it was restored rather than destroyed.
Hear, hear. What a beautiful place!

Sure are a lot of shorts wearers.
Where's the one with your stained sheets?
I know it's coming!!
Maybe "Meade's favorite stain."
Some people just aren't Titus.
The inner hall there is a pale shadow of Gallup NM's famed El Rancho Hotel, which is one of the greatest places on earth.
