The building was designed by the French architect Eugene Ferret and inaugurated in January 1905, the style is eclectic, but with many liberty elements. This is the oldest Italian casino still operating. In 1928 the casino was considerably expanded, taking on its present appearance. The inside of the casino is very rich, with liberty rooms and a medieval hall. Richly decorated with sculptures, large Murano glass chandeliers, crystal chandeliers, lampposts and wrought-iron chandeliers, and Art Nouveau furniture, there is no lack of more modern facilities such as the former party room, or the elegant Roof-Garden. The theater is home to the Sanremo Symphony Orchestra, one of the 11 stable orchestras in Italy, and is one of the best theaters in the region, with excellent acoustics.
