A new constellation rises over Rome, bearing the signature of Pietro Ruffo. With the opening of art’otel Rome Piazza Sallustio, the internationally renowned artist launches an unprecedented collaboration between contemporary art and luxury hospitality. Each art’otel celebrates a Signature Artist, and for its Italian debut, Ruffo—deeply rooted in Rome and known for his poetic cartographies—was the natural choice.

His works permeate every space: celestial maps on balconies, starry skies along the corridors, and iconic pieces like Festine Lente and Gente di Roma adorning the rooms. The hotel becomes a living gallery, a permanent exhibition where design meets meaning. The project continues with Mapping the Invisible, the first show hosted by the hotel’s art gallery, open to guests and locals until August. Together, Ruffo and art’otel redefine the hospitality experience: not just a stay, but an immersion into beauty and thought. A rare synergy, made in Rome.
