Rome, the cradle of Italian excellence, pulsates with artistic masterpieces, from the brushstrokes of Caravaggio and Raphael to the sculpted grandeur of Bernini. It is a city steeped in history and culture, a place where ancient marvels meet modern sophistication. The Eternal City has found its perfect match in the latest EDITION hotel, a haven of elegance and refined design that captures the essence of Rome.
A Modern Interpretation of Italian Grandeur
Conceived and brought to life by the visionary Ian Schrager and the discerning Statuto Group, the Rome EDITION sets a new standard for luxury in the heart of the city. With its 91 exquisitely appointed rooms, including 17 suites, the hotel offers a haven of comfort and style. Its sophisticated design, a harmonious blend of muted tones, walnut wood accents, and bespoke furniture, exudes an air of timeless elegance. The hotel’s prime location in one of Rome’s most coveted areas, just a stone’s throw from the iconic Via Veneto, allows guests to explore the city’s most treasured landmarks with ease.
A Historical Canvas Reimagined
Housed within a striking 1940s building, formerly home to one of Italy’s leading banks, the Rome EDITION celebrates the city’s architectural heritage. The building’s rationalist design, a testament to the genius of Cesare Pascoletti and Marcello Piacentini, is a captivating blend of form and function. The hotel’s stunning central staircase, crafted from rare cipollino marble from the Apuane quarries, is a breathtaking display of craftsmanship. Original features, including central courtyards, statues, and lamps, have been carefully preserved, adding an authentic touch of history to the hotel’s modern ambiance.
A Culinary Journey Through Roman Flavors
Rome is a city that lives and breathes its food, and the Rome EDITION has embraced this passion, partnering with Paola Colucci, the renowned chef and founder of the acclaimed Pianostrada restaurant. Colucci’s culinary philosophy is rooted in the emotionality of food, a belief that translates into her show-kitchen restaurant, Anima, where guests can witness the artistry of her creations firsthand.
A Taste of Tradition with a Modern Twist
Colucci’s menu is a symphony of flavors, blending traditional Italian recipes with modern techniques and an international perspective. The focus is on seasonal ingredients and freshness, resulting in dishes that are both delicious and visually captivating. From classic spaghetti with roasted tomatoes to her signature veal with tuna sauce, Colucci’s culinary journey is an exploration of Italian gastronomy at its finest. Anima’s light-filled space, with its chartreuse and blue upholstery, is the perfect setting to savor the hotel’s culinary offerings, whether it’s a leisurely breakfast, a delightful lunch, or a memorable dinner.
A Serene Escape in the Heart of the City
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city in the hotel’s expansive and lush garden, a unique offering in Rome. This oasis of tranquility is both a piazza and a dining space, a serene setting where guests can relax and unwind. The garden is a testament to the hotel’s commitment to creating a truly immersive experience, blending indoor and outdoor spaces in a seamless harmony. The dramatic bronze metal awning casts a captivating shadow over the teak wood banquettes and free-standing furniture, while the Italianate lanterns add a touch of romantic charm. The Garden offers a relaxed all-day terrace, with a menu of light dishes that are perfect for enjoying the warm Italian evenings.
The Heart of the Hotel: The Lobby
The Lobby, the social heart of the Rome EDITION, is a dramatic space that sets the tone for the entire hotel. With its soaring 22ft-high ceilings, porous travertine floors and walls, and two symmetrical seating arrangements, the Lobby is a breathtaking blend of elegance and functionality. Custom-made sofas and coffee tables, alongside petrified wood side tables and standing lamps, create an inviting and stylish atmosphere. The Lobby is a place to relax and socialize, to see and be seen, or to simply enjoy a game of pool on the hotel’s custom-made table.
