Interior Lobby

Poipu, Kauai, HI

This is a very wide angle shot of the interior lobby of the Grand Hyatt. You can see the roof is wide open to the sky, and the large tree and plants are in the "courtyard".
The registration desk is under the roof to the right. Behind me is roofed in area with the concierge desk. In the lower left you can see more roofed building with an open walkway to the outside and down to the ocean in the distance. The blue Macaw is the blue dot/object on the right about 1/4 up and in. If he wanted to leave he could (assuming he could fly).

One of the mornings we were there it rained briefly early on. The floor was wet and they blocked it off so you had to walk around it. No big deal.
The photo doesn't do it justice - it is impressive.

That is not at all what I was expecting to see, I really didn’t know what to expect but that is not the vision that was coming to mind. In fact this reminds me more of a portico than a hotel lobby. Do they have a way to close it up in the event of inclement weather? That also could mean insects, rodents, snakes or any wildlife could have direct access to this structure. If they have a restaurant or breakfast bar just off the lobby (pretty common) then the health dept would have a field day with that. Paul
