The life-size gingerbread house returns to the lobby of The Royal Park Hotel for another holiday season. In its fourth year of partnership with The Salvation Army, the Royal Park Hotel has built yet another giant gingerbread house masterpiece. The giant gingerbread house stands eight feet tall and is adorned with Christmas colors and decorations, and features fine details such as cobble stone border, candied icicles, snowflakes on the gingerbread shingled rooftop, and a toy room inside.
