Literary notes about palatial (AI summary)
In literature, the term “palatial” is employed to evoke a sense of luxurious grandeur and expansive scale. Writers use it to describe not only magnificent residences [1], majestic mansions [2], and opulent hotels [3], but also to suggest an atmosphere of splendor in settings like stately offices [4] or even metaphorically in portrayals of a rich, abundant inner life [5]. The word thereby enhances both literal descriptions of impressive architecture and figurative narratives that aim to capture an almost royal, awe-inspiring quality.
