Golden Palace (superior)
***The Golden SPA is closed for the Summertime Holidays from 4th to 31st August***
The Golden Palace, new five star luxury hotel of THI Group, is situated in the Historic Headquarters of "Toro Assicurazioni", in Via dell'Arcievescovado, in the heart of Turin. When it was built in the period following the Second World War, "Palazzo Toro" was cited in the most important books on architecture. It was an exemplary building both for its conception and for its structural features, and pictures of it appeared everywhere. Modern, faced in stone, and with a great number of windows (one for each internal door, it was said), Palazzo Toro was one of the jewels of the Decker architectural firm, one of the city's most in view at the time, and the best technicians and craftsmen of those years were involved in its construction. It was one of the city's first buildings to have lifts with automatic doors and air conditioning plants. The caryatids placed outside the building, at the sides of what will be the main entrance of the future hotel, and the statues of the fountain in the garden, are by a Calabrian artist, the sculptor Michele Guerrisi, who taught at the art academies of Rome and Turin. The rate includes American Buffet Breakfast served at the Winner Restaurant. Room service Breakfast is a supplement.
