The Bulgari Hotel Roma, in the brand’s hometown, will be its second in Italy and ninth worldwide.
Located in Piazza Augusto Imperatore, Bulgari Hotel Roma occupies a restored 1930s rationalist building in front of the Mausoleum of Emperor Augustus.
It’s a stone’s throw from the Spanish Steps and the Bulgari flagship store on Via Condotti.
The building’s renovation has created 114 rooms and suites with design details including made-to-measure tapestries, Murano crystals and lamps and hand-made bathroom mosaic rosettes.
Six restaurants and bars will include rooftop terrace La Terrazza, inspired by the gardens of ancient Roman villas such as Villa di Livia and Villa Adriana.
The Bulgari Spa will meanwhile recreate the atmosphere of ancient Roman baths through marble columns, stained glass windows and mosaic patterns inspired by the historic Terme di Caracalla Baths.
The hotel will also have a unique Reading Room, containing precious books dedicated to Roman art, design, history, and architecture and available to the public by appointment.
’Temple’ of luxury
Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bulgari said: “The opening of Bulgari Hotel Roma is a real milestone for Bulgari as it will be finally possible to welcome our guests in the Maison’s hometown, the city which has been a source of inspiration for all our magnificent jewellery creations since the Brand foundation.
“The Bulgari Hotel Roma is a real ‘temple’ of luxury hospitality embodying all the Brand values such as exceptional craftmanship, precious materials, Italian contemporary yet timeless design, excellence, and glamour.”
The hotel’s general manager Vincenzo Falcone added: “With its prime location in the heart of Rome in a historical building perfectly renovated, its precious interior design, its gastronomical offer by Niko Romito, and its public spaces including the most amazing rooftop terrace with a 360° view of Rome, [it] has definitely all the elements to become one of the best hotels in the world…”
The opening of Bulgari Hotel Roma in June follows the recent opening of Bulgari Hotel Tokyo. The next Bulgari Hotels & Resorts openings will be in the Maldives (2025), Miami Beach (2025), and Los Angeles (2026).
