The restyling of 255 rooms in the Hilton Rome Airport reflects the sea and the sky.
The hotel has just celebrated its 25th anniversary
The restyling project was entrusted to Studio Lorenzo Bellini Atelier, with the idea of making travel, even during breaks, a meaningful moment. The Hilton Rome Airport, which has just celebrated its 25th anniversary, is the only hotel directly connected to Leonardo da Vinci Airport. With its unmistakable architectural style, featuring modern artworks such as Arnaldo Pomodoro's famous sphere at the entrance and Jean Michel Folon's fountain statue “La Pluie” outside, the Hilton Rome Airport has a total of 517 rooms, a restaurant and bar. There is also a fitness room and an indoor swimming pool, 22 meeting and events rooms, ample parking and a pedestrian link to the airport.
The sea and the sky are dominant elements
The hotel is set in a landscape steeped in history, in an area with a strong historical and logistical identity, where the Tiber meets the sea, and was an important crossroads in ancient times. This concept gave rise to the project, with the dualism of the sea and the sky as dominant elements, both in symbolic and aesthetic terms, because connections by land and sea have characterized this area since ancient times.
Fresh, deep shades of blue, in many hues
The colour board for materials and fabrics is directly inspired by the shades and textures of the sea and sky, natural elements that dominate and define the visual identity of the project. The fresh, deep shades of blue, in its many hues and veering towards teal, and shades of mustard, are accompanied by explicit references to the nautical world, such as the striped fabrics typical of Mediterranean fishing boats, which recall the upholstery of marine covers.
It feels like walking among the clouds
As guests move from room to room, the hotel corridors become part of the sensory landscape. The floor becomes a landscape, with the colours of the sea and its foam, suspending travellers in an imaginative dimension, as if they were walking among the clouds or on the edge of the water. The very location of the hotel within the airport area, to which it is connected by a covered walkway, reinforces the concept of the continuity of travel: arriving at the hotel is merely a stop on the journey, not a destination in itself.
