Across the street from the Peabody (formerly The Excelsior), and a truly interesting building. The elevator sized for a horse is something to see!

The view

Submitted by conceptDawg on Fri, 11/20/2015 - 12:38pm.

While the hotel now directly faces the much larger Marriott (née Excelsior) and convention center across the street, at the time this photo was taken it likely had an unimpeded view of the Arkansas River from that second floor balcony.

You can probably still see some of the river over the convention center but it certainly isn't the view it once had.
