In the heart of Rome, on the main floor of an historical residence, a small hospitality structure with lounge spaces, a breakfast room and six guest rooms is to be established. The service facilities face onto an internal courtyard featuring a small fountain, while the rooms look outwards, towards the Chiesa Nuova Church and Borromini’s Oratory of St. Philip Neri.
The renovation has revealed the make-up of the structure’s walls, illustrating the transformations that have occurred over time while heightening the atmosphere of a “unique” stay in the city’s historic core.
