The large, impressive entrance hall welcomes the visitor into a warm, elegant atmosphere. The doors close and the noises of the city fade into the background. Crossing the threshold of the Hotel Excelsior is like a step back into the past and rich tradition; on the wall to the right is an original engraving from 1775 and completed for the King of the Two Sicilies. It is a map showing a view of the city and the layout of the ancient sea-front. This is an elegant, refined space, with antique carpets gracing the floors and sparkling lampshades from Murano lighting the marble drawing-room. The drawing-rooms have hosted parties and banquets for important guests: royal families, aristocrats, financiers, actors and actresses from the stage and screen, artists and scientists, none of whom would have missed a stay at the Hotel Excelsior.
