Tiffany glass and detailed carvings make the Grand Hall — now serving as the lobby of the Hyatt Regency hotel — at Union Station one of the most beautiful rooms in the United States. Stare up at the romantic archways and stunning architecture and transport yourself back to the elegance that was Union Station 100 years ago. Once one of the largest and busiest train terminals in the country, Union Station now houses restaurants, specialty shops and the Hyatt Regency in the beautiful, Romanesque-style building that was built in 1894. The stained-glass windows and turn-of-the-century ambience of the Grand Hall are truly the highlight of Union Station — the businesses and restaurants in the rest of the building are mostly chain and tourist shops. Don’t miss the Whispering Arch just inside the main entrance of the Grand Hall, where everyone from eager children to curious businessmen can be seen looking up in amazement. Not as well publicized as a certain other arch in town, the Whispering Arch has an acoustic trick — if you stand against the marble wall and whisper a secret, it can be heard by another person standing on the other side of the arch 40 feet away.
