The 21c Museum Hotel in Lexington, Kentucky, unveiled on Wednesday the retro room from the 1960s, inspired by The Queen’s Gambit – which reserves reservations for both fans and chess enthusiasts.
The Harmon Room has a chessboard art installation above the bed, mimicking the drug-induced visions that Beth Harmon (Johnston Island) turned the orphan into the chess of the Netflix show.
Lexington happens to be Beth’s hometown, and the room includes a guide to the area’s landmarks featured in the seven-episode series based on the 1983 novel by Walter Tevis, originally from Lexington.

Ladd added, “When I watched The Queen’s Gambit, I would stop and just turn fascinated by all the colors and patterns.”
