Nomos Hotel – Rome, Where Minimalism Meets Monumental Calm
An 18th-century monastery reborn through material minimalism and poetic restraint
A Monastic Past, Refined for the Present
Tucked into Rome’s Regola district near Campo de’ Fiori, Nomos Hotel occupies a former Franciscan monastery adjacent to San Paolo alla Regola. Designed by artisan-designer Henry Timi—his first venture into hospitality—the hotel transforms monastic austerity into modern serenity, turning restraint into hospitality’s greatest luxury.
Material as Meditation
Nomos isn’t about opulence—it’s an exercise in storytelling through matter. Walls of plaster, handmade terracotta in public areas, custom in-place terrazzo floors, exposed travertine, and simple raw elements define the aesthetic. Every piece—right down to handles, lamps, linens—was conceived by Timi, ensuring an environment where authenticity, craftsmanship, and silence harmonize.
Spaces That Encourage Presence
The ground floor opens onto a quiet courtyard, anchored by a pared-back restaurant and bar. Here, bespoke totems—appearing like ancient columns—stand alongside wooden tables and geometric floors that echo Roman relics.
Rooms that Quiet the City
Above, “Raw Rooms” stretch across four floors—suites defined by silence and simplicity. Earthy linens, sculptural furnishings, and muted tones transport guests from Rome’s frenetic streets to contemplative stillness. Windows frame the city, but deliberately soften the boundary between inside and out.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Nomos is not just a hotel—it’s a philosophy. It stands as a radical act of minimalism in Rome, where luxury is defined not by excess but by space, stillness, and the beauty of natural material. For travelers longing to pause, reflect, and be fully present, Nomos offers an unforgettable, soulful stay.
