A new Four Seasons near St. Peter's in Rome is, apparently, to open for the 2025 Jubilee according to rumors that have been doing the rounds.
A 5-star hotel right beside St. Peter’s Basilica
About a year ago two possibilities were being discussed: one involving Palazzo Marini hear the Trevi Fountain the other the Palazzo della Rovere on the Via Conciliazione beside St. Peter's Basilica. It now seems the choice is the Palazzo della Rovere, despite the controversy surrounding the decision to open a highly luxurious establishment near the most important church in Christianity.
The property is owned by the Order of the Holy Sepulcher
The property is owned by the Order of the Holy Sepulcher which made the official announcement that they had signed an agreement with a subsidiary of the Fort Partners group on March 10. According to the agreement a portion of Palazzo della Rovere will be leased for hotel use and managed by the Four Seasons group.
The hotel will have 77 rooms and a Michelin restaurant
Fort Partners is a Puerto Rican investment firm founded by Nadim Ashi who has previously partnered with Four Seasons in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The contract for Palazzo della Rovere, it is said, is valued at approximately $52.4 million over a period of 27 years. The new hotel should be operational for the 2025 Jubilee of 2025 and will feature 77 rooms, including 13 suites, a spa, a gym, and a Michelin restaurant.
