The Vampire Suite stretches out into actually two rooms, it boasts cozy heat, fine skulls, and a one of the original Grand Midway Hotel beds with hanging canopies from when the building was still operating in its early 1900s hay day. This room also offers a beautiful sky view looking out over the enchanting town of Windber. There is a video library of Vampire dvds (over 120 movies!) There is a closet, it is rumored, with a back tunnel that leads to a secret private third back room with coffins! If you want to experience the third floor spirits in a grand style, this is your room.
It is rumored there is a secret tunnel through the closet in this room that goes to a secret back room with coffins… (Makes for endless great photo opps!)
============================================
STATIONED NEAR THE GATEWAY OF PLEASURE
“Stationed at the Gateway of Pleasure” was used as a title by Pittsburgh poet Margaret Bashaar for her poetry collection (which she expanded from her earlier work entitled “Letters from Room 27 of the Grand Midway Hotel”) after spending a good deal of time being photographed by Adam in this room. It originally was a book that championed the hotel for a decade of her visits which she called “The happiest place on earth.” But her final year visiting was fraught with dark misfortune and thus she changed her book entirely to a more haunting revenge piece.
