Interior design Alessia Garibaldi
Inspired by the building’s history, the designer has created an inviting world of ceramic, marble, wood, and vintage furniture, with a color palette of sage green, brick pink, and cobalt blue. The hotel lobby has been frescoed by Edoardo Piermattei, a young and promising painter who connects the city and the river to characterize the birthplace of Rome. The lounge area, meanwhile, is a world of designer armchairs, breccia marble, walnut wood, and burgundy velvet.
Architecture Luigi Moretti
Built in the 18th century beside S. Giorgio al Velabro church, Palazzo Velabro was converted to a residence in 1960 that architect Luigi Moretti then transformed with an interior defined by dramatic curves and an outdoor area with a private terrace that recalls an ancient Roman court. Here, you can admire the Roman Forum and the Arch of Janus from a rare perspective.


Art & Culture Film and flair
Celebrating Italy’s rich cinematic history, the hotel’s private screening room is a totally immersive space for intimate gatherings. Its library, meanwhile, makes for the perfect literary retreat, with specially curated books and armchairs designed by Patricia Urquiola for Moroso.
