In the late Augustan period the house was converted into a hospitium, a hotel on a grand scale. A counter accessible both from the street and the atrium was constructed to encourage potential guests passing by as well as service existing visitors.
Even the wall decoration of many rooms is original and is one of the most remarkably preserved in Pompeii.
