Design
On entering the lobby , guests walk across the black and white marble mosaic floor and head to the reception desk , which is upholstered in a patchwork of colorful rugs . Around them they will see a rich paneled room featuring whitewashed timber chandeliers decorated with gold leafing .
Stepping into the corridors , guests see ornate wrought-iron detailing around the atrium , original encaustic tiles in terra-cotta reds , golds and chocolate browns , and arched doorways with under-lit room numbers .
Guests can sit on a wide selection of furniture in The Bar Room , chosen with eclecticism in mind to give the impression of an informed connoisseur who has acquired the pieces over the years .
