In the Grand Foyer, you find yourself in a forest of frosted birch trees.
The hallway
and foyer are graced with elegant silver garlands reflecting a glistening
Winter
Wonderland. Adorning the pilasters are pendants of gold magnolia leaves
and silver
branches. Look to the ceiling of the Grand Foyer and you will see the
traditional
needlepoint "kissing ball," designed and created by Washington, D.C.,
master
needlepoint artist Hyla Hurley and her associates. Santa is dressed in a
winter
white robe amidst woodland animals, with two polar bears guiding him on
his journey
to the North Pole. Completing the holiday decorations in the Grand Foyer
is the pier
table with a Christmas tree comprised of Colette Peters's edible, festive
and colorful
holiday packages.
