Amazing that even from this distance, you can see the intricate details put in to make the building that little bit more interesting to the passerby. There looks to be a circular window up top, and I wonder now what special room (or hallway) that window was a part of. Too bad I'll never get to know.

Odd, I wonder what the deal is with the counter - and what's up with the three-paned glassless doors? Maybe this was once some kind of upper-level bar or cafe.

Yikes, that light fixture - sorry, soap dispenser - looks like someone just dropped a wicker basket on top of a light bulb and called it "creative".

I wonder what the purpose of the standing metal dividers were. Were they just decorative, or were they once curtained?

Beautiful!

I'm sure that the original doors were beautiful; those stupid, lightweight, cheap doors don't do a room like that justice. I can imagine the looks on the faces of young newlyweds when they come upstairs to the expensive honeymoon suites. They must have felt like they were staying in a mansion.

A pity that, like most of the gorgeous woodwork and stonework around the country/world, this too has more than likely been lost to the ages.. Beautiful hand-done work, painstakingly created, completely destroyed in the blink of an eye.

There would almost have to have been a round bed, wouldn't there? A regular bed in a round room just doesn't seem to work so well...
