A Legacy Carved in Stone
Originally a noble palace before becoming a monastery, the building’s transformation into a luxury hotel preserves its deep historical roots.

Venetian-inspired mirrors, elaborate headboards, and curated artwork by renowned photographers such as Slim Aarons and Kourtney Roy add a contemporary yet nostalgic elegance to the space.
The D.O.M. Suite is directly overlooking the charming Via Giulia, presenting an exclusive 50m2 apartment encompassing two floors. The bathroom and wardrobe are located on the lower floor, along with a private terrace (25 sq mt) offering views of the rooftops of the Regola neighborhood and the antique wooden bell tower of the church of Santa Lucia del Gonfalone. Rich textures, warm tobacco and dove tones, and original architectural details create an ambience of understated luxury.
