Hotel Room Envy

Even before I knew that this was the hotel room where Bette Davis made her home, it is the only one I can remember looking up at and thinking with a bit of envy this looks quite fabulous, I think I could love living there. At different times in my life I stayed in iconic historic hotel rooms. As a child, I stayed in the penthouse suite of the San Francisco Fairmont Hotel. Some years later, I stayed in the penthouse suite of the Waldorf-Astoria, and other hotels, like my favorite the Carlyle, in rooms where dignitaries had once stayed. However, it was this simple-looking room that caught my attention. It was at the top of the hotel, but only a few floors high, so it still related to the street when one is on the balcony. This corner suite, surrounded by balconies and French doors, provides many views, of the river below that runs through San Sebastian, a full view of the beach and sea, the plaza below, and even the fireworks display of the annual International fireworks competition.The curved balconies that related to the city and provided beautiful distant views, suggested a home that could make one happy. Quite inadvertently sometime later I was assigned this room. Yes, it did make me happy.
