What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Rounded edges in a palette of fresh-from-the-factory white and gleaming chrome abound.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Marina Centro's promenade runs right outside the door, putting the beach steps away and Rimini station ten minutes inland.
The rooms
Motorized curtains open to wide Adriatic views, and select suites place pod-shaped Corian tubs in the center.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool stays heated to 35°C year-round. Inside, a second pool incorporates hydromassage stations and water blades.
The spa
White loungers ring a suspended chrome fireplace in the top-floor lounge, and timber saunas look out toward the sea.
i-FAME Restaurant
Chef Daniele Succi prepares modern Romagna seafood menus in a curved white dining room overlooking the pool.
How it began
The Ermeti family spent eight years developing the building from scratch, eliminating sharp angles in favor of continuous curves.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
