“Look at the building. Understand the building. Respect the building.“ This was the message hotel manager Roberto Russo gave the commissioned archtects. Their job: complete remodeling of a historic building that used to be a wool manufacture. They did not touch the original building structure. Even the windows were kept.
The atrium is the center of the hotel and has a magnificent tree in the center. The warm brass shades of the reception desks mirror the organic warmth.
