Schnelle Fakten: Step through the heavy doors and you meet soaring gilded ceilings, marble staircases, and an Arabian Hall that glitters like a stage set. Guided tours highlight a thunderous reception hall used for international events and a surprisingly intimate Trading Room where merchants once shouted over ledgers.
Highlights: A lavish reception room was redesigned in 19th-century Moorish style inspired by the Alhambra, with filigreed plasterwork and a honeyed cedar ceiling so detailed you can spot tiny geometric stars and hand-painted arabesques from mere inches away. A quirky lighting tradition lingers: during formal receptions curtains are kept drawn and warm oil lamps or low amber lighting is used to create a hushed golden glow, a staging trick guests often say makes whispered conversations feel conspiratorial.
Insidertipps
- Wear comfortable shoes, marble floors and staircases can be slippery and uneven.
- Join an official guided tour, several key rooms are only accessible with a guide and commentary enriches the visit.
- Photograph the Arabian Hall from the center aisle and the top of the grand staircase for dramatic compositions, but check flash restrictions.
- Buy tickets online for a fixed time slot and aim for the first tour of the day to avoid peak crowds.
