vanhulsenbeek Posted May 6, 2011 Share #7426 Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) A lobby with a flat screen Ah, a mirror! But is this thread about the world inside or outside? Edited May 6, 2011 by vanhulsenbeek Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoido Posted May 6, 2011 Share #7427 Posted May 6, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Adli, It is not the Waldorf Astoria, but somewhere West of that hotel. Sander, A good question. I don't know the answer, nor do I have an external shot, nor would it help much if I did. Well, a pano might have have helped. Moderator, If this indoor shot is inappropriate, I will withdraw.

jaapv Posted May 6, 2011 Share #7428 Posted May 6, 2011 It is entirely appropriate, it is not even the first hotel lobby to feature in this thread. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearoido Posted May 6, 2011 Share #7430 Posted May 6, 2011 Ian, You are getting warmer, but not in Yosemite. If you get the name of the hotel - you get the location. GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geaibleu Posted May 7, 2011 Share #7431 Posted May 7, 2011 If there are any clues in the picture, apart from the "A", here they are: electric old fashioned fan, as seen in the mirror hence hot summers, and early colonized area, chimney hence cold winters, aquatic bird on the mantelpiece hence lake or sea nearby, quartz vein sections, or geodes hence mining not too far, leather furniture, hence cattle nearby, we thus must be in the deep south like Atlanta Georgia with a capital A, or further west Austin Texas or Albuquerque New Mexico, or somewhere else. Is this hotel in the States? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted May 7, 2011 Share #7432 Posted May 7, 2011 Hello Gary, I would say the fireplace w/ cover means the location near the Pacific Ocean (sandpiper) is not that cold. Perhaps the name of the Hotel is the Alameda. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoido Posted May 7, 2011 Share #7433 Posted May 7, 2011 Geaibleau, I am impressed by your deductions, but like Richard Sher "Great Guess, but not correct". It is in the US. Michael, Not the Alameda, but by the Pacific, sort of. If you were to drink of the waters you could chase the blues. GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
smgorsch Posted May 7, 2011 Share #7434 Posted May 7, 2011 This is really annoying me as I'm sure I've been here but just can't pinpoint it. Are we at the hotel Grand del Mar in San Diego? stefan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoido Posted May 7, 2011 Share #7435 Posted May 7, 2011 Stefan, We are not in San Diego. Perhaps this hint will help: "Out out damned spot" GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaal Posted May 8, 2011 Share #7436 Posted May 8, 2011 Ashland Springs Hotel, Ashland of course, Oregon Thank you for Shakespeare's tip ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearoido Posted May 8, 2011 Share #7437 Posted May 8, 2011 Gaal, You got it in one. It is a lovely small town with one of the oldest Shakespeare festivals in the US. Alongside the Elizabethan Outdoor Theater is Lithia Park. So named because the Lithia River runs through it. There is a public area where two main streets meet that have a public fountain where you can drink the waters from the river, which is named for the chemical Lithium that it contains. Lithium is used to treat depression, hence the hint. Your turn now. GaryO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaal Posted May 8, 2011 Share #7438 Posted May 8, 2011 Gary, thank you, for me the hint was Shakespeare festival right there rather than Mac Beth's famous sentence. Anyway lets travel a bit, this should be very easy for some of you Welcome, dear visitor!
