We were there just after Christmas, this is one of the Christmas tree in the Assembly Room which is the largest of the four sitting room and once a gathering place for Hearst's quests.

Because it's the only dinning room at Hearst Castle. Duh!
The in door pool, "The Roman Pool", is built in the style of an ancient Roman bath. The pool and surrounding rooms were built from 1927-1934.
