Selected
main floor (floor with public areas)
It's been discussed in a previous question. This is an except from Martin Perazzo's answer:
public area
The "zonas nobles" of a hotel are simply the public areas (lobbies, sitting rooms, restaurant, etc.) as opposed to the guest rooms and private areas (kitchen, administrative offices, etc.).
In many tourist brochures you'll find "aire acondicionado sólo en zonas nobles", meaning there's a/c only in the public areas, and individual rooms aren't air-conditioned.
HTH,
Martin

In many Spanish hotels they also speak of the "planta noble", which is the floor - generally the ground floor - where most of the public areas and facilities are located.

noble floor / ground floor (sometimes also 'first floor')
This term was discussed at length in a Catalan question back in 2002. I include the reference below. In fact, I think it could be 'noble floor' or 'ground floor', but it can also refer to the 'first floor'. It's quite confusing! If you read the previous proz question, things might seem a little clearer.

planta noble (?)
In "Barcelona" by Robert Hughes, the author left it in Catalan "pis noble" (in italics); this approach might suit if the building is historic and stately, depending on the type of text.
