If you wanted to convey the grandeur of the Driskill lobby, you could use words like "opulent," "posh," or "lavish." Or you could describe the imposing three-story columns, the sparkling marble floors, or the kind of stained-glass ceiling fixture that stuntmen were born to dive through. You'd never know that, in 1908, two Texas lawyers had a gunfight right here. So just call it what it is: fancy-schmancy.
