What’s the backstory?
Opened in 2010, this modish escapade sprouted from the fertile minds of two young entrepreneurs who are never shy of a challenge. With their unmatched creativity and sharp business acumen, the duo managed to convert a mundane 1970s office building into a hipster's paradise. Keeping the essence of the ancient city intact while infusing it with a modern edge was no easy task but believe it, these two innovators hit the nail right on the head.
Price Range
Rooms typically start at around €80 per night for a comfortable, standard hotel room. Although, if you're in the mood for a little more luxury and a view that leaves you breathless, the panoramic rooms, which boast an unrestricted view of Rome's iconic skyline, are often around €150 a night. Keep in mind, these prices are merely indicative and could go up during peak tourism times or drop during off seasons.

Fitness enthusiasts can break a sweat in the well-equipped gym, or if relaxation is more your vibe, there's a chill rooftop terrace where you can lounge under the Italian sun.
