A CROSSROADS OF CIVILIZATIONS, CULTURES AND TRENDS, ROME IS IN THE WORLD KNOWN AS THE ETERNAL CITY - A DESTINATION TO VISIT AT LEAST ONCE IN YOUR LIFETIME. DOUBLETREE BY HILTON ROME MONTI IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR THIS.

Located in a strategic position, in one of the most iconic and ancient neighbourhoods of the city: the Rione Monti, proudly the first district of Rome, a dynamic and eclectic artery that develops around the Via Urbana and Piazza Esquilino, on which stands the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.

This atmosphere with a retro flavor, combined with the climbing on the terracotta facades, the pots of plants left simply along the sidewalk of the streets with the typical Roman San Pietrini, was the greatest inspiration for the interior design concept, created for the hotel by the THDP studio, London, but with Italian roots and designers.

An accurate philological research has guided the entire project of conversion of the two pre-existing buildings, with the aim of combining the Roman rhythms and lifestyle with the functionality of a hotel and establishing a continuous dialogue with the city.

The Sky bar Mùn is located on the eighth floor on a covered interior and a terrace that offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the Santa Maria Maggiore abbey sitting on the tallest point of the Esquilino hill. MÙN Rooftop Cocktail Bar is characterized by a contemporary, but not stylized design, with a feeling of a temporary summer outdoor bar. The walls are finished in a dark ochre plaster, reflecting the view of the facades outside, stretching to the west views of Rome. THDP created also a warm decorative garden lighting effect, by selecting outdoor rusty poles and wall lights by Il Fanale, who supplied most of the brass and metal lighting for the project through the specialist contractor Gomiero.

THE LAYERING OF MATERIALS AND COLOURS INSPIRES THE USE OF NEUTRAL BUT FULL-BODIED COLOURS IN INTERIORS CHARACTERIZED BY THE USE OF NATURAL MATERIALS SUCH AS WOOD, STONE, STRONG PLASTERS, LIME PLASTERS, EARTHY COLORS, WITH CONTEMPORARY ACCENTS OF BRUSHED METAL, BRONZE AND COPPER FOR THE FURNITURE, WHICH HAS BEEN DESIGNED WITH A MINIMALIST APPROACH TO DECORATION.

The colours chosen for the hotel are warm, rich and natural to be also aligned with the Double Tree casual look. The walls are left quite bear, finished with a concrete spatula effect. The flooring is custom designed with big slabs of walnut antiqued travertine with a central courtyard paved with squared 10x10 cms mixed tonalities of travertines. The orange and ochre fabric shades fade into the delicate travertine to reach the tones of the green of the Tiber River. The red of the facades of the distressed facades, the porphyry of the entrances of the churches and the traditional “sampietrini”are blinded every day during sunset creating magical effects of lightand shadows. The use of these shades creates a link with the external environment, maintaining an internal chromatic continuity with the city on the outside.

The layering of materials and colours inspires the use of neutral but full-bodied colours in interiors characterized by the use of natural materials such as wood, stone, strong plasters, lime plasters, earthy colors, with contemporary accents of brushed metal, bronze and copper for the furniture, which has been designed with a minimalist approach to decoration.
