Cinematic ministry conversion
Former secret service offices trade surveillance for 1970s espionage cinema flair, sunken conversation pits, and round-the-clock drinks.
What it’s good at

Interiors channel 1970s espionage cinema with angled mirrors, terrazzo, and burnt orange velvet.

Cobbled Monti streets with independent artisan workshops and traditional osterias surround the hotel.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Monti's cobblestone alleys wrap around the building, leading down toward the Colosseum and Piazza Venezia.
The rooms
Rooms keep things simple, with glass rainfall showers, custom aromatherapy toiletries, and lighting that shifts from day to night.
Penthouse Bar & Café
A quilted red-leather counter commands the sixth floor, serving barista espresso by morning and signature cocktails all night.
At the table
Red cafe tables and a pergola-shaded bar sit on the open terrace, looking across the skyline toward the Vittoriano.
How it began
The building once housed the internal intelligence branch of Italy's Ministry of the Interior before its 2025 conversion.
