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.
