The Lowdown 

The first Italian branch of the Hotel Edition has just opened its doors in Rome. Indeed, Rome is celebrated as the cradle to Italy’s finest contributions to art and culture and an ideal choice for the opening of the latest Edition. The building chosen for the hotel is a remarkable structure that dates back to the 1940s. It was originally utilized by one of the prominent Italian banks and showcases the distinctive rationalist architectural style. A notable highlight of the building is its breathtaking central staircase, crafted from rare cipollino marble sourced from the Apuane quarries. Located just steps away from Via Veneto, one of Italy’s most iconic streets famously depicted in the movie La Dolce Vita, the hotel embodies the essence of glamor Italiano.

Suite Talk

Upon entering the private garden at the Rome Edition, guests are greeted by a captivating Roman streetscape leading to the heart of the hotel. The guestrooms incorporate a Latin flair and coddle you in comfort and style. To wrap up your evening, we recommend you rendezvous at The Roof on the seventh floor to enjoy a panoramic view of the city skyline. You can unwind and refresh at the plunge pool while sipping on handcrafted cocktails after a hot Roman day.
