Stairway to the underworld

We spent the weekend in a nice historical hotel on Lago Maggiore (Lake Maggiore) in northern Italy. The Grand Hotel Majestic was built in 1870 in a classic Italian style, all golden and red. The service and food was excellent. Inspired by Stanley Kubrick's iconic one-point perspective, I took this shot of the stairways.

 

Can you guess how I took this shot?

 

I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposures, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
