For your pleasure and convenience, on the premises, the Gadsden Hotel offers:

  The Gadsden is truly a hotel unlike any you'll find elsewhere. Besides a colorful past perhaps most splendid is her architecture. The spaciousmain lobby is majestically set with a solid white Italian marble staircaseand four soaring marble columns. Each capital is decorated in 14K gold leaf-worth $20,000 in 1929. The building is constructed of structural steel and reinforcedconcrete. The finest materials and fixtures were used, even the plumbingis installed with all copper pipes throughout.

An authentic Tiffany stained glass mural extends forty-two feet across one wall of the massive mezzanine. An impressive oil paintingby Audley Jean Nichols is just below the window. Vaulted stained glass skylightsrun the full length of the lobby.
