The Corinthia Hotel brand-commitment to modern heritage is expressed through the restoration of a historic palazzo long associated as a stronghold of the Bank of Italy. Carefully reimagined as a hotel, the project preserves the architectural integrity, from its monumental structure to its original 1920s frescoes. The 9,700-square-meter, 60-key hotel marks the first Roman address for Italy’s famed chef Carlo Cracco and includes panoramic penthouses and a subterranean spa inspired by ancient bathing rituals, set within the building’s original vault.
The hotel’s art collection continues this dialogue between past and present. Curated by international art consultancy VISTO, the program reflects Rome’s tradition of artistic patronage, commissioning contemporary artists to create new works for the building. Featured Italian artists include Elisa Grezzani, whose monumental tapestry anchors the collection, alongside Francesca Longhini, Alice Faloretti and Maddalena Negrone. Displayed throughout the hotel, the works include both preparatory sketches and finished pieces, revealing the journey from concept to completion.
“Corinthia Rome was created to be experienced,” says Danilo Zucchetti, Managing Director. “We invite the world to visit and fill this rediscovered building with vibrant energy. The authentic connection with Rome and its inhabitants is what matters most to us and is what makes the experience truly memorable, both for our guests from all over the world and for the Romans themselves”
