Comfort for Americans at the California Hotel in Paris
Dewitt Mackenzie surveys the California Hotel near the Champs Elysees as a rare American refuge in war altered Europe. The hotel shelters business travelers and diplomats at moderate rates via State Department support, contrasting with costly black market lodgings.
