Located just off the hotel lobby, this is a replica of a quaint village courtyard, exuding the romance
of the surrounding Italian architectural facades. You’ll find a serene fountain at the center of the
piazza, which is laid with brick cobblestone. You and your guests will be transported to the heart of an
authentic Italian village in this beautifully rustic setting. The space can also be used for smaller dinner
and dance receptions.
Timeless Memories

perfect intimate dining atmosphere with 14-foot ceilings, crown molding, chair rails, decorative wall
coverings and wall sconces, and a lovely cream and terracotta color scheme.
