Just inside the lobby, as you pass through the revolving door, there’s a huge table in the middle with a massive wooden birdcage on it. Just ahead of that cage is a little sitting area alcove with some sofas, chairs, and a black baby grand player piano, where you can rest as you sit near the waterfall in the St. Augustine area of the atrium. The wall boasts a large fireplace, and during the Best of Florida Christmas happenings, stockings are hung on the mantel. Along the inside wall of this cozy alcove are a number of sconce candle holders. In ONE of those candle holders is a dinky little holiday gnome.
In the Gaylord Palms Hidden Holiday Gnome Hunt, this is clue number 1 – “I am nimble, I am quick… Look in the lobby by the candlesticks.”
