花園閣餐廳的前身是宮殿酒店的露天中庭。1906年大地震之前,馬車徑直駛進酒店后??吭谶@里,客人由此下車,鞋子一塵不染。1909年酒店重建時,在此耗費巨資加蓋玻璃穹頂,高度遠非尋常餐廳可以企及,成就了花園閣餐廳不凡的格局。
The Garden Court restaurant used to be the courtyard of Palace hotel. Before the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, horse-drawn carriages would come into the building and guests were dropped off here to keep the shoes clean. As part of the reconstruction in 1909, millions of dollars were spent to crown the whole area by a stained-glass dome of height no ordinary restaurant would compare, creating an extraordinary space for the Garden Court.
如今的花園閣餐廳長33.5米,寬26米,可容納120人落座。餐廳的兩端排列希臘式大理石廊柱,開闊的玻璃穹頂之上,十數盞大型奧地利水晶吊燈懸垂而下。2015年酒店翻新,在花園閣餐廳的前端新設了酒廊區(qū)域GC Lounge,將現代化的舒適感融入餐廳華麗典雅的氛圍。
Measuring 33.5 m long by 26 m wide, the restaurant could accommodate 120 people.
