With celebrated locations in London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Cologne, and Zagreb, the Rome opening marks an exciting new chapter for the brand, redefining hospitality in one of the world’s most artistic and historic destinations.
 
A creative landmark in the heart of Rome
 
Located just steps from the historic Horti Sallustiani, art’otel Rome Piazza Sallustio is a creative and cultural landmark, where every detail is an artistic statement. At the core of the hotel’s identity is Signature Artist Pietro Ruffo, a visionary Roman artist whose works transform the hotel into his most extensive permanent collection to date. His dreamlike celestial maps and Roman iconography enrich every space, from guest rooms to communal areas, weaving a narrative that blends Rome’s rich past with contemporary creativity. Guests will find themselves immersed in Ruffo’s world—whether admiring the starry constellations etched into lobby walls, the intricate balcony artwork inspired by his Piazza Venezia silos, or the grand installations in the hotel’s suites.
 
A dynamic cultural hub: Exhibitions and art’beat events
 
The artistic experience extends beyond the hotel walls. The opening of Mappare l’Invisibile, the first exhibition at the hotel’s Art Gallery, invites both guests and locals to explore Ruffo’s latest works, including a thought-provoking video installation. Running until August, the exhibition is just the beginning of a dynamic cultural program. The hotel’s dedicated art’beat initiative, launching in April, will introduce an exclusive lineup of events—from vernissages to live music, fashion showcases, and wellness experiences—ensuring the hotel becomes a vibrant creative destination within the city.
 
Introducing YEZI: A new culinary destination in Rome
 
Beyond the art, YEZI, the hotel’s innovative pan-Asian restaurant, is set to redefine Rome’s dining scene. Following its success in Zagreb, YEZI brings a bold culinary experience to Piazza Sallustio. Executive Chef Werner Seebach and Head Chef Giordano Gianforchetti curate a menu inspired by the historic spice routes, infusing each dish with vibrant flavors and contemporary flair. From its sun-drenched terrace—designed by Ruffo himself—to its inventive cocktail selection, YEZI offers an immersive journey through Asian cuisine, set against a backdrop of elegant, modern design.
 
More than a hotel: A cultural and luxury experience 
 
art’otel Rome Piazza Sallustio is more than a hotel—it is a cultural landmark, a meeting place where Rome’s artistic heritage meets modern innovation.
