There's
also this fun and funky hotel: the Sylvia Beach Hotel comes with
rooms decorated in themes from different authors. There's the Hemmingway
Room, with a safari theme and other elements of his life represented.
Or there's the Dr. Suess Room, where various characters from the
authors' surreal imagination are staying with you as well.
This old building was
reborn in recent decades after having been the freakzone called
the Gilmore Hotel, which had an unsavory but delightfully kooky
history. Residents and regulars - usually slightly twisted Bohemians
- used to hold "nudie parties" there, which was essentially
a clothing-optional situation.
It couldn't have been
pretty. |
