The hotel was built in 1909 as Folchi Palace on a project by architect Miozzo, and offers an admirable and innovative example of Art Nouveau. The scrupulous restoration of the building, fostered by Family Cinel, brought it back to its past splendor fully recovering the style and the rooms of the original project - an impressive corner perspective animated by terraces, verandas and balconies enriched by flower decorations of wrought iron and gentle stone figures. The elegant hall welcomes with its elaborate magnificence and immediately reveals the fine style characterizing the entire building. Examples of rare beauty are the floor, the terrace in Venetian style, the lacunars decorated with golden friezes, the reception counter made of marble with stylistic elements of the historic Caffé Pedrocchi. The hotel boasts 57 rooms and 4 business suites, perfectly soundproofed and equipped with independent air-conditioning, heating, bathroom, hair dryer, its own bar, satellite TV, direct dial telephone with answering machine and other accessories - for instance, video recorder and hydro massage in the business suites. Amenities available to guests include facilities for guests with mobility problems, lift, bar, restaurant, pick up at the station, baby-sitting, and a garage. Dogs/cats are allowed. The hotel accepts all major credit cards.
