References to the history of Rome and the architecture of the 20th century

The interiors of the hotel, designed by Studio Lorenzo Bellini Atelier, refer to the déco design of the 1930s-40s, the period of construction of the urban and architectural complex of EUR which was supposed to host the 1942 Universal Exposition in Rome and celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the March on Rome.

In the hall you are greeted by a bronze stele created by Arnaldo Pomodoro, a reference to the type of obelisk that distinguishes the history of Rome.

The historical-artistic references extend from the philological choices of marble to the mosaic by Marilù Rebecchini which, placed on the reception wall, celebrates the most identifying views and monuments of the ancient city.

From the hall you enter the atmosphere of the lounge bar, with its ocher and bronze glowing spheres lighting hanging from the coffered ceiling , and the Hungarian herringbone parquet floor in dark walnut. The approximately 13-metre-long counter is clad in natural marble Emperador, with a top made of absolute black marble.

Inside the lounge is the Library, with its wooden bookcase in black finish which leads towards the restaurant.

Here, the portal in black marquinia marble opens onto the deep green environment, with a coffered ceiling and crystalline luminous spheres in ocher and bronze. The floor is the result of a play of 6 herringbone marbles laid staggered: statuary, white calacatta, gold calacatta, green Guatemala, green Alps, black marquinia.

The role of color and color blocking

The colors of the rooms recall the Pompeian frescoes and the chromatic scales of the painting of the Italian masters of the last century - Sironi, Donghi, Campigli, Casorati and many others - according to the chromatic method of color strong> block.

This is an ancient color matching technique that combines the use of single colors in different shades, mixing them in contrast with each other.

A compositional language that derives from classical art, passes through medieval sacred representations, to reach its maximum expression in the contemporary art of the first half of the 1900s.

The wallpapers of the rooms use 3 main and 3 secondary colors, tone on tone, to underline the shading effect of the light entering through the large windows: brick-red, forest green-sage green and sugar paper blue.

The colors of the velvet upholstery contrast with those of the walls. The headboards of the beds and the bed end benches are in eco-leather in the same color as the walls.

The furnishings, the lamps, the desks and the upholstered furniture were all designed by Studio Lorenzo Bellini, except for the armchairs of the writing desks.

The bathrooms in light travertine communicate with the bedroom - the idea is to obtain a single room - and have a washbasin top with a tub made in a single block, in black marquinia.

A further homage to Italian design from the early 1900s, the entrances to the rooms are punctuated by specially designed gratings, in essence of American walnut, with a woven pattern.

Energy, air conditioning, consumption, photovoltaic

These are now essential elements in every project.

Here, the photovoltaic is installed on the roof and provides the hotel with a basis for self-consumption of electricity without absorption from the grid, allowing savings for the environment and a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.

The entire hotel is equipped with a high-tech system for general consumption monitoring.

The gas cogenerator integrates the production of thermal energy necessary for the winter air conditioning of rooms and domestic hot water, while producing energy for self-consumption at the same time.

The home automation installed in all the rooms guarantees reduction of consumption and efficient management of energy needs.
