But, the stats can't tell of the architectural beauty of the entrance into the foyer, the excitement of being on the Auburn University, the dedication of the accommodating staff, rooms with everything from decisions about the thread count of the sheets to the color of the walls being made at executive levels to achieve excellence.

Fine Dining at a level of excellence:

"ARICCIA is named after the ancient town of Ariccia, Italy, located in the “Castelli Roman region and is situated 17 miles southeast of Rome. Ariccia is home to the famous Palazzo Chigi which was reconstructed in the late 17th century by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, an acclaimed Italian architect, sculptor and painter. The nearby “Castel Gandolfo” has been the Pope’s summer residence since the 12th century and remains so today. Notably, Ariccia is the home of the international campus of Auburn University, College of Human Sciences and is therefore the inspiration behind the name.

Savor grill-fired fish, chops and steaks. Imagine succulent fresh herbs and vegetables served at the peak of its flavor and freshness. Ariccia’s open kitchen is a showcase for the fun and excitement.

Relax in casual comfort in the lounge. Generous sofas, a fireplace and a large-screen television, make the lounge an inviting gathering place for people-watching, cocktails or a nightcap and conversation.

Breakfast on the Run is expedited at Ariccia’s Espresso Bar, complete with homemade pastries and breads fresh from our bakery and specialty beverages, coffees or teas."
