The two-year design project comes on the heels of the grand renovation and evolution of Rome Cavalieri’s crowning Michelin three-star restaurant, La Pergola, in 2024. In embarking on this highly anticipated comprehensive renovation of all guestrooms and suites, the hotel will pay homage to its locale and the elegant yet inviting residential atmosphere synonymous with Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts.
“Our goal was to honour the hotel’s extraordinary heritage while reimagining its spaces through a contemporary lens, enhancing comfort, elegance, and functionality,” commented William Fisher, General Manager, Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel. “Beyond the aesthetic transformation, this project elevates the way our guests experience hospitality, creating more intuitive and inspiring environments that support genuine, seamless, and personalised service. At the same time, it instills a renewed sense of pride among our team members, empowering them to deliver an even higher level of excellence and reinforcing Rome Cavalieri’s position as an enduring icon of Roman luxury and hospitality.”
The new guestroom and suite designs draws inspiration from the Eternal City’s rich palette of patterns, textures, and colours, incorporating a sophisticated combination of soft pale greens, warm terracotta accents, and fresh travertine tones that echo the Roman landscape. Tihany Design is taking great strides to complement the hotel’s existing architecture to create a harmonious balance between beloved existing elements and new décor and furnishing accents for guests to admire. For example, the bathrooms will retain the original Carrara Marble finishes, which are being carefully restored, while upgraded high-end fixtures and refined amenities including spacious walk-in showers are being added to cater to today’s modern travellers.
