The historic colonnade entrance takes you into the hotel reception and the champagne lounge. The Hotel reception is the original entrance hall and till today displays the diamond cut slate flooring with circular black marble sections. The hall was symmetrically designed with four Spanish mahogany doors and an ornamental fireplace with detailed wood and gold painted cornice work.

The Champagne Lounge leads on from the hotel reception and is ideal for pre dinner drinks, cocktail reception parties, informal meetings, and after dinner liquers. Originally the Library, it still shows bookcases with mesh cabinet doors, and was built in the chinoiserie style of the period. It enjoys splendid views of the lawn, fountain and lake. Impressively detailed with fluted Corinthian pillars, a marble fireplace and exotic fresh flowers, it is designed as a reception room en route to the Grand Ballroom.
