Building description
The Lavish Chateau is a narrow but very tall stone building, painted sky blue. The stained glass windows have gold-leafed frames, and are framed by crushed velvet cerulean curtains. Steps lead up to the double front doors, and there is also a door in the back of the inn.

There are two Zhelezo stationed on either side of the open doorway for security purposes. The chateau front hand also helps board animals and provides valet service, for a fee, for carts.

First floor
On the first floor is a foyer with a tables, a coatroom near the entrance, two bars, and a staircase that leads up to the second floor. It is a very tall room with visible rafters and multiple silver chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The interior of the room is light tan, with medium brown wood, and white, silver, and gold accents.

The room contains ten round tables covered in fine white table clothes. The tables are set with silver platters containing fruit, cheese, and crackers, and have candles on them.

The two bars are located in separate corners, and when the Mighty Nein first visited, both were open.

There is a single ten-foot staircase ascending towards the back wall with the wood painted in a pale gray or tan color. There is a brief landing before it splits into a double staircase leading to the second level. The center of the stairs is covered in a wide sky-blue carpet, similar to the color of the building's exterior.

Second floor
The second floor has rooms available for rent, all with queen or king size beds. The stairs heading up to the next floor meet in the center, mirroring the previous staircase.

Third floor
The third floor has more rooms. The Ruby of the Sea's chambers have a door with a different wood grain pattern than the doors to other rooms on this floor.

Marion Lavorre’s chamber
Marion's room contains a large canopy bed, and has a balcony that overlooks the wharfs below. The windows are hung with silk beaded curtains.

Jester Lavorre’s bedroom
Jester's childhood bedroom contains a small but ornate four-poster canopied bed covered in ruffles. It is full of many trinkets, and has lots of windows and books, and artwork covering the walls that improves as it gets higher off the ground. On the underside of the canopy, Jester has painted a beautiful landscape of the Nicodranas shoreline and the Mother's Lighthouse, that is visible while lying in the bed.

When the Mighty Nein entered the establishment in search of The Ruby of the Sea, a five-piece band was playing gentle, atmospheric music. While Jester used Disguise Self to pass through the inn unnoticed to catch up with her mother, and exchange information about their travels, the party searched for a table to wait for the show. They discovered that there had been some issues with one of Marion's clients. They managed to gather a little bit of information, and learned the client in question was Algar, who had grown jealous of other clientele, and seemed to be becoming a point of concern for Marion.

Marion arranged rooms for the party, and they in turn promised to look into Algar's business.
