 Mens' restroom in the lounge area of the Hermitage Hotel in Nashville, TN.

The men’s restroom is located outside the Oak Bar on the hotel’s lower level. The Art Deco restroom, which was remodeled in 1930, features lime green and black leaded-glass tiles, lime green fixtures, an authentic terrazzo floor and a two-seat shoeshine station. It was voted into the Cintas "America's Best Restroom Hall of Fame" in 2008.

I entered this HDR image of the hotel's main lobby in the HDR IV challenge.

Wow they are cool, did not notice them the first time around. Maybe you can tell us where they are.

Interesting effect on the green lighting, shiny surfaces and floor. Loos seldom being attractive places (visually), this is a very different subject.

What a crazy bathroom. Even some shoe shining chairs.

P.S. This is my 6000th comment overall. :)

That's pretty bizarre! Not really sure if I could pee in there. LOL!

If the loos are that grand I can scarcely imagine the rest of the place.

Runway lights
give the green go ahead.
Foot traffic taxis up to a stall
When one heeds Mother Nature's call.

Those art deco green lights act like runway lights directing foot traffic to the loo. You have some fabulous leading lines:-) BTW the chairs to the right confuse me as to what their purpose is...

Love the movement going on with the lines, it really draws the focus into the picture. That's also one funky restroom!
