Farked again!

Although the obvious Kubrick reference would seem to be the Empire-style bedroom with the luminous floor at the end of "2001: A Space Odyssey," a number of Farksters have made a connection with the Overlook resort in "The Shining."

Too bad this is black-and-white. There must be at least fifty different colors in that carpet.

Anyone up for a game of musical chairs?

I see a third. Someone traveled ahead in time and bought electroluminescent carpet.

What a beautiful room! I cant get over the light fixtures. Have been in the light industry for thirty years and have not seen anything as beautiful as these. This is on picture that truly makes me want to go back in time. Thanks.

In the regular size pic the carpet looks like clouds in the sky in 3-D.

In its prime, the Hotel Kaaterskill was largest mountain hotel in the world. It could accommodate over 1100 souls, and the foundation was a mile in circumference.

The narrow gauge Kaaterskill Railroad was built to Kaaterskill Station in the 1880s just to cater to the hotel's needs.

Are you ONLY supposed to sit in the sitting room? Because other than one set of chairs off to the right, this might just be the least-conducive to conversation seating configuration ever. And most of the chairs don't even look comfortable for lounging, reading, etc. Just sitting and staring straight ahead. Maybe you and a friend could practice the "escaping from a kidnapper who has tied us together, back to back" routine?

I do love the S chairs, though.

The carpet makes the furniture look like they're floating on clouds. OK, it may be the cold medicine I just took.

The straitback chair setup makes for some awkward rendezvous. The upolstered furniture in the middle, not so much.

Oddly enough, Hotel Kaaterskill doesn't have a Wikipedia page, even though it was a seemingly impressive feat and there's plenty of other online resources about it. Anyone care to start it?

I heard that you had to be important to make reservations to sit in a comfortable rocker.

Looks like a set straight out of a Kubrick movie!

I remember my grandfather always telling me that man's greatest invention was the chair.

How would you like to carpet-sweep that immense expanse by hand? Gotta love the love-seats!

They've got an interesting mash of lighting technologies there. Gas and carbon-arc electric! It also appears that everyone enjoyed facing away from one another. No tete-a-tete at this resort.
