More Palmer House excess

[dreamshark]

For those of you amused by the last post, here is more. We made a lovely dinner date on Saturday night out of cocktails and "Bar Bites" at the charming Potter Bar on the main floor of the hotel. It's actually the former Empire Room where numberless celebrities have performed over the decades, so the room has spectacular acoustics, currently being utilized by piped in jazz nostalgia. The drinks were incredibly strong, leaving us giddy enough to do a little exploring after dinner.


 So we went up random escalators to discover multiple mezzanines full of splendiferous mirrors and rococo ballrooms, all wide open and completely empty. Fun!
