If my Barber Shop was as such, I'd be there every week for a cut and a shave.
Someone beat me to the barbershop comment. That is one fine looking establishment. From the Hotel website it appears the interiors are very contemporary.
The removal of the upper parapet, cornices and elaborate mansard roof detailing is unfortunate. The plain "new" roof parapet with light posts looks silly at best.
Zach,
There is something so wonderful about grand old hotels. One of my favorites is The Del Coronado in San Diego.
Come to enter the latest in The 12 Days of Holiday Giveaways from Design du Monde! It is a Framed Antique Architectural Print!

Oh, I so want to have my next haircut and shave in that Pompeian fantasy of a barbershop
(hell, who am I kidding? I'd settle to find a barbershop that still does an old fashioned shave)
