I mentioned going to the Vintage Clothing Sale yesterday but didn't show you the beautiful ballrooms in the Chateau Laurier Hotel where the sale is held.
The hotel opened on June 12, 1912. Commissioned by Charles Melville Hays, it was the first hotel to be built as part of the Canadian Pacific hotel chain. Unfortunately, Hays did not live to participate in the event. He had traveled to Europe to choose furniture for the hotel's dining room and was on his way home aboard the Titanic when it sank on April 14, 1912. The hotel, with its interesting history and lavish decor, makes an appropriate venue for a vintage event.
