From the fifth to the second floor, three huge sheets fall down, 93 square meters throughout, with a giant crossword with the names and stories of great characters passed through this wonderful hotel overlooking the Gulf.

The director Antonio Maiorino strongly wanted this contemporary installation to entertain and interest all those who will pass in front of the hotel and, who knows, maybe driven by curiosity enter the Bidder's Bar of the hotel and solve the puzzles with definitions in the hand.
