Tourism & Travel / hotels | | Spanish term or phrase: zona noble | Para ello [construcción de un casino] hubo de ser demolida la zona noble del Hotel y reconstruida para ubicar la mayor sala de juegos de España y sus servicios complementarios
What is the zona noble of a hotel????? I've been googling and some hotels have it on the ground floor, while others have it on the first floor, but I still don't know what it is. One site has translated it as the 'most richly decorated floor'and another, calls the 'planta baja' the, wait for it, 'slowly plant', hahahahahahaha, so I don't think they will be much help. |

| | public area | Explanation:
The "zonas nobles" of a hotel are simply the public areas (lobbies, sitting rooms, restaurant, etc.) as opposed to the guest rooms and private areas (kitchen, administrative offices, etc.).
In many tourist brochures you'll find "aire acondicionado sólo en zonas nobles", meaning there's a/c only in the public areas, and individual rooms aren't air-conditioned.

In many Spanish hotels they also speak of the \"planta noble\", which is the floor - generally the ground floor - where most of the public areas and facilities are located.
