Italy: Owned by the Federici family, the 26-bed Palazzo Talia has reopened in Rome following a three-year restoration by three design and architecture firms.
Public spaces such as the restaurant, bar and wellness spa, as well as the hotel’s signature suite, has been transformed by studiolucaguadagnino. It marks the company’s first hospitality project.
Each of the remaining 25 rooms and suites have been individually designed by MIA Home Design Gallery and Laura Feroldi Studio. All rooms feature bespoke and handmade furniture.
Chef Marco Coppola oversees the Tramae Restaurant which serves a range of traditional Roman dishes as well as Italian cuisine. Bar Della Musa offers cocktails, champagne and a curated selection of wines.
Originally built in the 16th century, the building became the residence of Angelo Maria Colocci, secretary to Pope Leo X de’ Medici, during the Renaissance.
In the 17th century, the Palazzo became a home for nobles and high-ranking clergy until it was acquired by Cardinal Tonti. After his death, San Giuseppe Calasanzio, founder of the Piarist Fathers, inherited the property and transformed it into a school for children from poor families. The school eventually became known as the Nobile Collegio del Nazareno, renowned for educating politicians, cardinals and diplomats, before closing its doors in 1999.
Palazzo Talia is now a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
