Virtual Tour of The Ahwahnee Hotel - Mural Room

On the west side of the Stairway Lounge is the Mural Room, (originally called the Writing Room) which features a hammered copper corner fireplace that looks something like a dunce hat. A large mural by artist Robert Boardman Howard fills the top half of the entire length of one wall. The mural depicts various animals and flowers of the Yosemite Valley. Dark wood paneling makes this room feel dark and formal even though there are large windows.
