ROME, ITALY
THE MAKING OF A GRAND DAME
Even before the pandemic, Rome has been in renaissance mode to preserve its heritage and invigorate its streets. Proud Italian brands have joined hands in this effort. Bulgari is one. It has begun work to birth its most remarkable hotel yet, the Bulgari Hotel Roma. Planned for opening in 2022, it occupies a magnificent modernist building adjacent to the iconic Roman landmarks Ara Pacis and the Mausoleum of Emperor Augustus. As a special property that resides at the heart of its hometown, it will feature some 100 luxurious rooms and suites, a signature spa, and a ristorante helmed by Michelin-starred chef Niko Romito. From its rooftop bar, guests will be able to enjoy unparallelled views of the city. There will also be a library filled with precious volumes dedicated to the history of jewellery. This will be a veritable shrine dedicated to the design and craft that have established the venerable house of Bulgari.
