The 164-room property transforms a historic government building in the heart of Rome into a Lean Luxury hotel that blends cinematic design, local spirit, and modern comfort.
The Ruby Group, led by CEO and founder Michael Struck, expands its presence in Italy with the opening of Ruby Giulia. Located on Via Agostino Depretis, just steps from Piazza Venezia, the 5,300-square-metre property reimagines a former Ministry of the Interior office into a 164-room hotel.
Designed as an urban retreat in the heart of the city, Ruby Giulia features a 24/7 bar and café, inviting lounge areas that connect seamlessly with the neighbourhood, and a rooftop terrace offering sweeping views over the Eternal City.
The design of Ruby Giulia draws inspiration from the glamour and intrigue of 1970s spy thrillers, subtly reflecting the building’s past within the realm of internal security.
Inside, guests are immersed in a cinematic world of deep emerald, burnt orange, and red tones, contrasted with terrazzo surfaces, brass accents, and soft velvet textures.
The result feels both mysterious and inviting, like stepping onto a film set waiting for its next scene. Influenced by Fellini and Roman filmmakers whose work continues to shape Italy’s contemporary culture, the design celebrates cinematic artistry in every detail.
Ruby Giulia is set in the vibrant Monti district, one of the city’s most authentic neighbourhoods where cobbled streets, artisan shops, and lively cafés capture the true Roman spirit.
Just steps from Piazza Venezia, the hotel is within walking distance of landmarks such as the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and Termini Station, while Fiumicino Airport is only 35 minutes away.
Ruby Giulia offers 164 rooms across four categories: Cosy, Lovely, Wow, and Loft. Ranging from 17 to 31 square metres, each room is designed for modern travellers who value quality and simplicity.
