Men, women and boys lounge on the grass, on park benches and near the Dewey Monument, a 79 foot Corinthian column surmounted with an 18 foot pedestal with a bronze statue of Victory.

The entrance, located between the wings, consists of a colonnade topped with a balustrade. The building has square and arched window surrounds with keystones, an ornate parapet, a cornice with a modillion course and a course of dentils. The structure has quoins and balconets supported by modillions, the top windows are separated by cartouches and the surrounds are bas relief swags. Each wing is topped with a flagpole. A two-story, neoclassical building beside the hotel has an aedicule over the entrance that serves as a balcony.
