It's their second most popular room, I'm told. Alex Madonna served as the inn's architect and wife Phyllis its interior designer. With much ambition and an obvious love for the project, they gathered artisans from all over the world to embellish their creation. Though eccentrically designed, the materials used are all first quality. Elaborate wood carvings on booths, beams, cornices and pillars decorate the common areas.
Tables are hand-stamped copper and bear the Madonnas' pick and shovel cattle brand.
Hand painted murals and an engraved copper horseshoe bar with matching service station festoon the coffee shop. Tiffany style lamps dangle from the ceiling between turned wood columns. All men are encouraged to go downstairs to at least look at the men's room, where the urinal is a rock waterfall, the sinks are giant clamshells and a waterwheel and hand pump sinks are added for good measure. The ladies room is bedecked in red flocked wall paper, pink Italian marble and tufted red leather door panels. Another demonstration of the Madonnas' thoughtfulness is the child sized basin and tiny commode for little girls.
