The Fine Arts Staircase

With its curves and coils, the Fine Arts Staircase is a generous and inviting cocktail lounge. Here you can design a customised welcome for guests entering from the avenue Winston-Churchill and ushered right through to the Nave, without using the main peristyle entrance.

A harmonious environment

Located to the left of the main entrance to the Nave, the Fine Arts Staircase flanks the porch of avenue Winston-Churchill. With a door head decorated with a large oval escutcheon and a lion's head, it is topped by a masonry group statue representing Art.
 
In the immense facade, the discrete, wrought iron entrance door through a high pedestal crowned by a statue representing Artistic inspiration, might even go completely unnoticed. Yet on crossing the threshold visitors cannot fail to fall to the charm of the Fine Arts Staircase. Its curvaceous lines are generous and inviting, and its very special atmosphere is warmed by stone staircases, mosaic floors and ivory tones.

VIP entrance

Guests using this select entrance can be welcomed in optimal conditions, with direct customised access from avenue Winston-Churchill, bypassing the adjacent main peristyle entrance.
 
Two configurations are available for the Fine Arts Staircase rotunda: either as a VIP access to the Nave (with cloakroom and signage), or as a stand-alone cocktail lounge.
 
The monumental stone staircase also offers two other reception areas: a 300 sq. ft. mezzanine and a second floor area of 850 sq. ft., with a view over the Nave.
 
The Fine Arts Staircase is being developed into a very select reception area, and will soon provide access to the clock balcony, the exhibition gallery and the balconies around the Nave, all of which will soon be restored.  

This area is complementary when you rent the Nave. 
Capacity: as a cocktail lounge, up to 100.
