Casa Monti is a discreet, design-led sanctuary steeped in artistic heritage and the third property in the Leitmotiv portfolio. Joining this curated collection of characterful hotels inspired by local culture, thoughtful design, and a strong sense of place, Casa Monti blends historic provenance with contemporary Roman living, just moments from the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, the Colosseum and Monti’s vibrant streets.
Today, his works are defined by an expressive, instinctive visual language and this dialogue between place and impermanence are set to arrive at Casa Monti this spring. For his Roman residency, McGregor will transform the dedicated suite into a fully liveable artwork, blurring the boundaries between contemporary art, design and hospitality. Guests will be invited not just to stay, but to fully immerse themselves in the artist’s world.
Custom wall panels will anchor the space, while exclusively designed patterns extend across upholstery and decorative elements, binding structure and surface into a singular vision. Works in the suite, centred on antiquity and Greco-Roman mythology, reference lines of ancient poetry by Horace, reimagined through Michael’s distinctive visual language. One particular work draws inspiration from a late Republican Roman mosaic frieze discovered during excavations in Via Panisperna.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Hotel Designs.
