Relais Orso
Hotel Photos









Hotel Description
Eye-catching modern design is one thing, but when your business is hospitality, the task still remains to make something warm and welcoming from even the starkest visuals. A model for success in this arena would be the Relais Orso in Rome. Like many hotels in the neighborhood of the Piazza Navona, this boutique is housed in a 17th-century townhouse, steeped in Renaissance history — but one that’s been thoroughly re-imagined, with modernist furnishings and sleek, highly textured surfaces updating the old house’s classic gestures at every turn.
Every modern intervention, however, is balanced by some carefully preserved element from the house’s past. Central glass-walled showers are built into the living rooms, right up against the original brick. The rest of the furniture is sleek and unobtrusive, leaving plenty of blond-timbered floor space exposed. For most guests it’s a stylish and quite comfortable pied-à-terre, but for those in need of a bit of old-fashioned grand-hotel luxury, the fourth-floor suite comes with a terrace and an outdoor Jacuzzi — a rare find among hotels of this size.
The public areas work with urban space constraints in fairly ingenious ways — a roof deck makes the most of the hotel’s location, offering panoramic views beneath a retractable canopy, so open-air cocktails can be sipped on clear nights. And the restaurant, Vicolo 88, pairs traditional Mediterranean dishes with wines that come straight from the cellar of the townhouse.
