If you care about history at all take the historical walking tour of this hotel. We did it on Wednesday and were not disapointed. You meet the very informative and lovely woman in the lobby and she takes a small group around and fills you in on everything you could ever want to know about this lovely place. I also purchased the book that they have about the history of this hotel. It is one of my treasures. Derrick at the Mai Tai bar is a really great guy.
