Share Your Story- Feb 25- Hats Off

What a Grand job you have done in restoring this wounderful property back to its beauty. I can not begin to express the joy it brings not only to those who have grown up with the Chamberlin, but to those who have a special connection with it as well. My grandfather was dining room manager many years ago, My grandmother retired as comptroller after the Chamberlin was sold in 1999 and I worked as a desk clerk for 5 years. To be able to see the hotel brought back with so much thought over the historical importance as well as a need to be able to service others touches me and my family deeply. When you step off the elevator and see the tall columns, high ceilings, marble floors, the spectacular views from the dining room of the water and ships and then to be able to retire to your room at night looking thru the window at the moon reflecting off the water, it doesnt get any better. I would have never thought that some one would have been able to give the Chamberlin the face lift that she needed to bring her back. Hats off to all the men and women who have put a great deal of time, thought, and love into the Chamberlin so that many more generations can enjoy her beauty.
