BAGLIONI HOTELS updates the idea of wonder.
The new standard of contemporary hospitality. Roman Penthouse is born, the most exclusive suite in the heart of the Dolce Vita at the Regina Hotel Baglioni in Rome.
The very concept of suites and contemporary luxury has been revolutionised.
The new Top Suite at the Regina Hotel Baglioni has finally been unveiled to the public. This is the most exclusive apartment in the heart of the Dolce Vita, offering a new perspective on Rome and something that has never been offered before.
Located on the 8th and top floor of the hotel, the ‘Roman Penthouse’ covers an area of 560 square metres, including 290 square metres of private terraces, 1 suite, 2 bedrooms, dining room, living rooms, kitchen and private bar. All designed to offer the most incredible 360° view of the Eternal City, from the Sistine Chapel to the Colosseum and far beyond.
The suite is characterised by an innovative concept of modular spaces, designed by the Milanese architecture and design studio Spagnulo & Partners, experts in a tailored approach to interior design. For them, designing a space always means understanding where they are. It might seem obvious, but the analysis of the cultural characteristics of a place, as well as its stylistic and morphological characteristics, is, or should be, the first authentic step in an architectural project, as well as an interior design project.
In this sense, the complexity and richness offered by the great cities of art represents an almost inexhaustible pool of references in form and content which, if appropriately reinterpreted, constitute the conceptual framework around which to design a space.
The Suite on the top floor of the Regina Baglioni Hotel in Rome is one of these frontiers, where the design of the new meets the cultural force of the past. It is an almost physical encounter, which manifests itself in a sensorial way thanks to the all-round view of the historic city centre, its baroque and mannerist testimonies, the monuments that have marked the history of western architecture.
This tension between modernity and tradition is the element that pervades Interior’s project horizontally. On the one hand, the contemporary design of the spatial geometry, the flexible use of partitions between different environments, the rigorous modernity in some choices of indirect lighting and in the design of some furnishings, on the one hand, and the use of wood panelling on the walls, some decorative archetypes in the marble floors, fine fabrics and blown glass, on the other hand, which instead allude to the most refined stylistic methods of the Italian tradition.
These apparent contradictions are transformed into harmonies, and determine an unprecedented character in which stylistic uniqueness is replaced by complexity and fusion: a new idea of contemporary luxury.
The concept of ‘custom made’ is also fundamental and in this suite it reaches its maximum expression thanks to the design of the details, the choice of materials and the attention to the finishes.
The Murano glass chandeliers by Vistosi are splendid. In fact, the work of Rebosio and Spagnulo gives decorative lighting a special role, particularly evident in the chandeliers. We start with the choice of the Diadema and Giogali models by Vistosi: these are two custom-made models in Murano glass of the highest quality, with a modern, flexible and functional design rather than a historicist one. Both work as light points both during the day, thanks to the reflections of the material, and in the evening. Then we move on to the development of the ceiling on two levels, which frame and emphasise the lamps as decorative objects and enhance their brightness.
It is therefore a clear example of a luxury space with a contemporary design, capable of offering travellers everything they could possibly want.
