The Roman destination will join existing, vibrant art’otel properties in some of Europe’s most creative cities, including London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Zagreb and Cologne.
art’otel Rome Piazza Sallustio is set to mark the brand’s entrance to Italy with its debut in a prime location: Piazza Sallustio.

A packed culturally-driven art’beat events programme with art, music, fashion, wellness and culinary events for guests and locals, a Fitness Centre with sauna, and a creative meeting room complete the art’otel offering.
Each art’otel serves as a blank canvas for a Signature Artist and their art collection. art’otel Rome
will be brought to life by renowned Roman artist Pietro Ruffo. In what is a “perfect meeting of minds and creativity”, Ruffo will be working closely with lead interior designer Eyal Shoan and his studio Digital Space, to create a truly immersive and thought-provoking art experience from the moment guests step inside. Ruffo lives and works in his native Rome, in a studio which, fittingly for the Italian capital, was once a pasta factory. The theatrical nature of Ruffo’s work, has led to a run of commissions for major fashion houses, who have turned to the artist for intricate designs that form a backdrop to the latest haute couture. In 2015, Ruffo designed “a modern Roman forum” for Valentino shows in Piazza Mignanelli, and since 2017 Ruffo has worked closely with Maria Grazia Chiuri designing show sets and capsule collections for Dior, most recently the Dior Around the World collection of 2020.
Ruffo recounts: “The collection of the art’otel unfolds stories of the different historical layers that have built Rome over the centuries, from the sky above us with a particular focus on constellations, to the flora and fauna on which we walk, but also the people who have lived in this city over the different centuries”. He sees the hotel as his chance to leave his legacy, his particular point of view on the city in which he was born and lived, and to give visitors the tools to “see the city with a different perspective and to feel the city with different eyes.”
The new art-led opening will be guided by Italian Diego Di Gaetano, the newly appointed General Manager. Tasked with bringing the art’otel brand to life in Rome across all hotel operations, Di Gaetano brings with him over 20 years experience in hospitality, with a particular focus on luxury and lifestyle hotels within the Leading Hotels of the World and Design Hotels collections, as well as holding a key role in several much talked about openings, including Hoxton Rome.
Diego di Gaetano commented: “I am particularly excited about the collaboration with Eyal Shoan and Pietro Ruffo. Of course, many hotels display art, but art’otel’s collaboration with a Signature Artist in interior design and events programming, will really create immersive art experiences that you don’t see in other hotels. Every corner of the hotel, including the rooms, will be enhanced by Ruffo’s works of art, creating a fascinating and sexy contrast between its contemporaneity and the historicity of the location.
Further details of the art collection, art’otel Gallery and restaurant and bar will be announced at a later stage. In the meantime follow us on @artotel Instagram to stay in-the-know!
