[Well, the door will open easily - but it won't lead to any sort of room you're expecting, most likely.
The stairs to get up here were the sort of thing that may have actually been opulent once, but when the door opens it's into something that's once again a bit of a visual non-sequitur - not in the same way that the chandelier was, but in a different way entirely; the staircase you're looking at is steep and dark and made of concrete, the walls thick stone on either side, the sort of thing that's clammy and damp with age and being shut off from the outside from too long. The source of the voice audible from outside doesn't seem to be present; that isn't to say that there aren't sounds coming from down below - it sounds as though someone may be down there, at least, there are vague noises that imply movement - but whether it's the person you heard before or not has yet to be seen.
