Antique 1911 Paris Guide — Hôtel Westminster

Charming early 20th-century pocket Paris guidebook dated 1911, issued for guests of L’Hôtel Westminster in Paris. The guide has a deep raspberry-red cloth cover with dark blue lettering and a sepia-toned oval illustration of the hotel façade at the center.

The front cover reads “Paris-Guide offert par L’Hôtel Westminster”, making it a lovely piece of Paris hotel history and travel ephemera from the pre-war era. Its compact format and richly aged cloth binding give it wonderful decorative appeal for collectors, stylists, or lovers of old Paris.

The book shows visible age-related wear, including fading to the cloth, softened corners, rubbing to the printed cover text, surface marks, and general handling wear, all consistent with its age.
