The birth of this 5-star hotel next to the Baths of Diocletian in front of Termini Station involved a complex transformation of a building from the early 900s that had until then been used for administrative functions. Having preserved the exterior, a magniloquent expression of historicist architecture, the main challenge for architects Riccardo Roselli and Jeremy King, specialists in hospitality architecture, was the interior. Here, the restoration was accompanied by a radical reform of the former offices converted into ultra-luxury rooms and suites through the identification of a vast range of floor plan and decorative typologies that make each of them unique. A brilliant example of design intelligence in which the customized PLH Slim plates find the prominence they deserve.
