“After the battle the hotel was put out of bounds, for serving drinks in forbidden hours. Indeed, A.P.M.’s have no souls. It reopened later, and continued to flourish until the German attack of April 1918, when the enemy shelling became too insistent. The hotel has not been badly hit, and, if it be rebuilt, I beseech all those who visit the battlefields of Arras to lunch at the Hôtel de Commerce”
— William Henry Lowe Watson
