Just steps from Villa Borghese and Rome’s most elegant addresses, Experimental Roma stands proudly on Via Veneto, the cradle of La Dolce Vita. A cinematic setting for strolls, sunsets, and timeless aperitivos.
Design
Experimental Roma is a hotel of inverted perspectives, a vision of designer Rodolphe Parente. A French perspective on Italy, an Italy reinvented in materials, textures and lighting. A play of contrasts between noble materials and repurposed industrial elements. Marble negotiates with bent stainless steel, terracotta tones vibrate against shiny metal. Rome reflected, literally, in a mirror.
Crossing the threshold into the lobby, the eye is captivated by an intimate, almost sacred interior. A sculpted staircase, rich and textured materials, references to the great Italian masters. This heritage is brought to life with nods to the 1970s: chrome tubes, disco touches, lurex carpets. A dialogue between tradition and subversion. Italian opulence revisited with a French eye, free and slightly irreverent.
To the Rome we Love
Upwards to the rooftop, suspended above the city. An imposing bar with views of the Villa Borghese and the Colosseum are a backdrop for a swimming pool and garden. The Roman sky, the umbrella pines, the beauty of evening falling on the Eternal City.
In between the lobby and the roof, 82 rooms and suites unfurl, divided into two main categories. The first evokes a theatrical Roman room, bathed in light filtered through interior shutters.
A delicate balance that tows the line between antique baroque and 1970s hedonism. The second plays a more refined, almost futuristic tune. Here, we are in a different relationship with time, contemplative, almost museum-like.
Here, just beyond our doors, a Roman world at your fingertip.
To the Rome we Love
The gem of Via Veneto. The icon of La Dolce Vita, the heart of Italian glamour of the 1950s and 1960s, when paparazzi decorated the streets. The distinct click of the shutter repeated the moment actresses stepped out of their Alfa Romeo taxis, the sultry walk up the hotel stairs. A street of fantasies, still imbued with the glow of Italian cinema. A blend of sensuality, elegance and religion.
Here, just beyond our doors, a Roman world at your fingertips, endless choices of museums, restaurants and basilicas to discover, mere moments from Villa Borghese and the Trevi Fountain. Rome is not a postcard but an inner labyrinth, gems to be discovered around every corner, memories safely tucked away.
