The French Chateau architecture highlights this luxurious venue. Showcasing unique courtyards and ballrooms, the European atmosphere envelops guests as they walk through the iron gates and enter the Fountain Courtyard. Nestled in the center of the hotel, the focal-point is the calming, limestone fountain. French doors in the Independence Ballroom open to the Fountain Courtyard adding a serene ambiance. In the ballroom, the attention to detail includes crystal chandeliers and royal, silk draperies. Vines, greenery and abundant rose bushes enhance the Wishing Well Courtyard, whose centerpiece is the imported Gothic, Italian wishing well. Gold accents and votive candles in the George Washington Room along with the blown glass fixtures and a limestone fireplace in the Diderot Library offer upscale, indoor options.
