ROMEO Roma: A Radical Roman Romance Reimagined
Where Empire Meets Edge
Just steps from Piazza del Popolo—where Rome’s cobblestone arteries spill out toward the Spanish Steps and Villa Borghese—ROMEO Roma makes its entrance not with nostalgia, but with audacity. The second outpost of the ROMEO Collection takes over a 16th-century palazzo and rewrites its DNA, grafting Zaha Hadid–infused futurism onto Renaissance grandeur. Inside, centuries collide with intent: original stone arches frame fluid sculptural lines; ancient frescoed ceilings meet luminous contemporary curves. It’s not a pastiche—it’s a provocation.
A Feast for the Senses
The sensory layering continues at every turn. IL BAR and IL CORTILE blur the boundaries between lounge, dining room, and art installation—spaces where conversation lingers and the lighting shifts like theatre. The apex, though, is on the upper floors, where Alain Ducasse brings Roman cuisine into an entirely new orbit: hyper-local ingredients reimagined with avant-garde precision, served like edible architecture. And for recalibration, LA SPA Sisley Paris envelopes you in a cocoon of scent, shadow, and silence—wellness treated not as amenity, but ritual.
Roman Soul, Future Form
ROMEO Roma isn’t just striking to look at—it’s quietly radical under the surface. Sustainability is built into its structure, not tacked on: energy-efficient systems, responsible sourcing, and adaptive reuse woven through every layer. Artworks curated throughout the hotel act less as decoration and more as dialogue, echoing the Eternal City’s mythology while pushing it forward. Here, Roman grandeur is reframed through the lens of design futurism—a love letter written in marble, glass, and light.
DNA Hotels Verdict
ROMEO Roma is pure design theatre—a place where Renaissance gravity and Hadidian boldness coexist in rare harmony. Daring, sensorial, and unapologetically forward-looking, it’s not for the traditionalist. It’s for those who see luxury as vision, not repetition. Rome has always been about layers. ROMEO Roma adds a dazzling new one.
