Leonardo Hotels much-anticipated NYX Hotel Rome will open its doors on 1 August.
Close to Castel Sant’Angelo and the Vatican
Located in the heart of the Prati district, just a short walk from Castel Sant’Angelo, the Vatican and sophisticated shopping, the new property will be the group’s third hotel in the capital and the second in Italy, under the lifestyle NYX Hotels brand, following Milan.
The old Hotel Cicerone takes on a new life
The project is a €30 million investment to redevelop the former Hotel Cicerone into a lifestyle destination blending urban style, sustainability, and innovative design. The goal: to create a hub that speaks to both leisure and business travellers while also becoming a social hotspot for locals. At the official unveiling, Leonardo Hotels’ leadership was joined by key stakeholders: Jan Heringa, VP Development and Project Management Central Europe; Raphael Carmon, Country GM Italy & France; designer Andreas Neudahm, the creative force behind the group’s interiors; engineers Niky Dimitra Michaelides and Giulio Cucciniello, responsible for the architectural execution; and Marco Bassan of Spazio Taverna, curators of the hotel’s artistic identity.
Two restaurants, and meeting rooms with natural light
The NYX Hotel Rome will feature 324 rooms on eight floors, a spacious and welcoming lobby, the Tullia restaurant offering a fresh take on Roman culinary classics, and the Clash Restaurant & Bar, an urban-style space with a cosmopolitan street food concept. Guests will also find an interior terrace, a decorative pool on the first floor, and flexible meeting rooms with natural light.
“NYX is more than just a place to stay”
“Our focus in Italy remains on key urban destinations that balance tourism appeal with business and MICE potential,” said Raphael Carmon. “NYX Hotel Rome reflects this strategy and will help drive our growth in 2025, supporting our revenue forecast of €60 million for the year.” “Creative design, an energetic mood, and a strong urban character make NYX Hotel Rome a perfect match for today’s travellers looking for more than just a place to stay,” added Jan Heringa.
