marble finishings


Explanation:
As sobre is a covering, in the context I think it could be expressed generally as having marble finishings.

Marble lining


Explanation:
Linig is something that covers.
For "recepción" I would translate it as "Reception desk" if you refer to the specific place to check in-out, or "lobby" if you refer to the room where the reception is located.

marbletop counters


Explanation:
..elegant reception area abundant in wood and marble.

(that is is you want to be safe and not guess just WHERE that marble "sobre" is supposed to be. I am sure is not an envelope : )

agree  Lisa Carter (X): You're right. Definitely a marbletop counter, at first I thought it might be the entrance-way that was all marble.
