Great Lounge- click to see full size image
A dark wood, 3-drawer bureau with overhead cabinets is located between each set of windows. The floor in Great Lounge is polished wood, to give the room a warmer feel than the concrete floors used elsewhere in the hotel. The room is furnished with numerous couches and coffee tables. Enormous tables help offset the size of the room and divide it up. These tables are part of the original furnishings from when the hotel was built. Each table has a centerpiece featuring small, live evergreen trees. Four decorative iron chandeliers with flame-shaped bulbs hang from the ceiling. Display cases with Native American baskets are at the south end of the room, along with photos of important people from the hotelīs past.
