"...The vintage, medium-sized, 10-storey building on Via Cesare De Lollis Road, located in the heart of San Lorenzo's Artist District, is the space of a luxury member club named Soho House Roma. This began by Nick Jones in 1995, Soho House Roma is one of many houses of the Soho group..."
Soho House Roma is another house where people with creativity come together to share ideas, drink, and dine while also providing a modern functional atmosphere to foster creative ideas. (Co-Working Space)
Soho House Roma is located just a 15-minute drive from the centre of Rome. The building is outstanding with a distinctive travertine pattern that covers the entire building. It features 49 bedrooms for travellers and overnight guests, ranging in size from tiny to XXL, spread across the 2nd, 5th, and 6th floors. On the 3rd and 4th floors, there are 20 apartments designed for long-stay members.
The building was designed by the Soho House design team in special collaboration with a group of Italian designers. Bitossi specially remade the 1970s lamps, and Sardinian weaver Mariantonia Urru crafted magnificent sliding wall hangings for each room. The rendered walls seamlessly blend with timber-wood wave-shaped bed frames. Most of the rooms feature a private balcony with a beautifully patterned terrazzo floor, designed by Roman Graniglia. Plus, 360-degree rooftop views of Rome showcase the city's enchanting transformation from dawn to dusk. From the bright morning light, late afternoon, the golden sunset, and the quiet night. This panorama reflects the historical atmosphere of Rome. All the designs mentioned beautifully capture the prosperous essence of Roman life.
