| The Blue Room |
| History & Tours |
| "The Blue Room is used for receptions....of all sorts" qouted many Presidents. If the Garden Room was the First Lady's tea room, then the handsome Blue Room is the President's Reception Room. Formerly part of the Royal Suite, the Blue Room has been used for recieving State Guests and holding Official Talks. The Room went under dramatic transformation in 2003, when Mrs. Kedinsky redecorated it with handsome Blue Wall paper and twentieth centuary artwork. The Chandalier dates back to the start of the Chateau and it was installed in many rooms but looked best here. |
