Yes! Another Heritage Salon at the Fairmont Peace hotel!
Even though this evening featured an Indian poet, Rakesh was not interested available to attend.
The added bonus of this evening was an opportunity to check out one of the famous themed suites.
Now would be a good time to confess I have a "thing"
for hotel bath rooms.
for hotel bath rooms.
My first stop in the suite, just to look, folks, just to look.
The shower enclosure (behind the half-frosted glass doors)
has a view of the Bund.

No Chinese hotel is complete without one of these.
Notice how this one is waaaay nicer than the one in
the Guangzhou hotel?

That's the power of a beautiful, customized velvet bag.

My experimentation with a different camera technique
It worked! Maybe there's hope for me yet as a photographer.
Now you also see the view over to Pudong.
The furniture
After the reading, which had me enthralled, and some savoury Indian snacks, it was time for me to go. I decided to take the back stairs instead of the elevator to see the the side not often seen.

A window on the back stairs
Original fixtures, original tile
A few floors down, a very pretty stained glass window
Talk about a hidden gem!
Not anymore...
I wonder what surprises the next salon will bring?
