"There's a Small Hotel" is a 1936 song composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Lorenz Hart.
Originally written for but dropped from the musical Billy Rose's Jumbo (1935), it was used in On Your Toes (1936), where it was introduced by Ray Bolger and Doris Carson, and repeated by Jack Whiting and Vera Zorina in the London West End production that opened on 5 February 1937, at the Palace Theatre.
Out of that visit emerged the lyric 'There's a Small Hotel', written to one of the few Rodgers melodies that annoyed Larry no end.
[4][5] Renovations to the hotel in the 1950s replaced the wishing well, claimed to be mentioned in the song,[6] by a floral fountain.
[8] In many printed editions of the song this appears as "There's a bridal suite", undermining Hart's depiction of the hotel as unassuming.
