Rome’s hotel landscape has entered an exciting new phase with the opening of art’otel Rome Piazza Sallustio, the brand’s first property in Italy and a dynamic cultural destination in its own right. Positioned near the ancient Horti Sallustiani gardens, this contemporary lifestyle hotel comprising 99 stylish rooms and suites is more than a place to stay—it’s a living gallery that celebrates art, innovation, and design.
Bringing together luxury hospitality and immersive cultural experiences, the hotel features the largest permanent collection of works by Roman artist Pietro Ruffo, whose celestial motifs and Roman references run throughout the interiors. Guests can admire his dramatic lobby murals, bespoke balcony pieces, and large-scale installations in the suites, turning each corner of the property into a discovery.
This artistic ethos continues with a dedicated Art Gallery and a year-round cultural programme under the art’beat initiative. Opening with Ruffo’s own exhibition Mappare l’Invisibile, and soon to feature vernissages, live music, fashion showcases, and wellness experiences, the hotel aims to be a creative anchor for both visitors and the local community.

The experience is equally sensory at YEZI, the hotel’s bold new pan-Asian restaurant, which follows its debut in Zagreb with an inventive Rome outpost. Helmed by Executive Chef Werner Seebach and Head Chef Giordano Gianforchetti, the menu draws inspiration from the spice routes of Asia, blending bold flavours with cutting-edge presentation. A sunlit terrace designed by Ruffo adds an artistic touch to alfresco dining, while the curated cocktail list elevates the bar experience.
Whether you’re staying in one of the art-infused rooms or simply stopping by for dinner or an event, art’otel Rome Piazza Sallustio offers a unique way to experience the city—through a bold lens of creativity, cultural immersion, and forward-thinking luxury.
