History, tradition and class have been for ever a symbol of this important area of the hotel, and these changes make the ambience softer and elegant, offering guests a contemporary vision of the ground floor without loosing the past elements that the hotel is so proud of. 
 
The atmosphere that welcomes guests is made lighter and pleasant through the reinterpretation in modern key of those distinctive elements the hotel is known for, together with the use of pastel colours, elegant and comfortable materials such as wood, leather and stylish decorations of the highest quality.
 
Even the space has gained a new meaning: the hall from square is now octagonal, whilst the central dome has been better defined. The result is a lighter space where particular importance has been given through the chromatic differentiation of the large carpet rug decorated with a central ramage in grey and brown tones, colours also used in the floor decoration of the adjacent spaces.
 
To the right of the hall is the bar gallery already refurbished during 2005. A trendy meeting corner,  The Jockey Bar is a favourite spots of the hotel: looking out to the gardens and swimming pool offers the ideal place where enjoy an aperitif or a quick and tasty snack.
 
Boiserie in lacquered wood, leather, lighter architectural additions in plasterboard with a neoclassical look: these are the new elements that the hotel presents.
