While its shell dates back to the 16th century, its interior is imbued by Patricia Urquiola’s chic and neat spirit. Just a stone’s throw from the San Marcello al Corso church, its 96 rooms answer the desires of our times, balancing out raw materials and ‘quiet luxury’. Built upon the idea of cultivating a famous sixth sense, that of pleasure, which finds its highest expression in the spa, the hotel chain lives up to its reputation. All the more so in a city famous for its Roman baths! In this maze of beige travertine, you can wander from bubbling baths to energising massages. In the evening, when the light keeps the summer nights at bay, the rooftop offers a breathtaking view over the city’s tiled roofs, tawny under the Italian blazing sun.
