The Wife of Bath's Apartment

This suite features an elegantly conceived mural from "The Wife of Bath's Tale" on the wall behind the king-size bed, a generous sitting area with a sleeper couch, a handsome writing desk, a chess table, a built-in bookcase, a two-person whirlpool within an elegantly tiled bath ... and a skylight!

The Mural

... In which we see the lusty knight returning to the Queen after "twelvemonth and a day" to name the thing that women most desire:

"A woman wants the self-same sovereignty
over her husband as her lover
And master him; he must not be above her."
