Description
Architectural landscapes featuring details of the hotel are on the third through 11th floors, across from the elevators. Also, in the ballroom there is a trompe l'oeil fountain near where a real fountain stood in the original hotel, and trompe l'oeil Spanish tiles resembling those tiles found elsewhere at the hotel. Anthony Heinsbergen restored the hotel's decorative ceiling exactly as it was originally painted by his father in the 1920s.
