Palazzo Sanzio in Rome is due to make its summer debut under the Radisson Collection brand.
A historic building in the heart of Rome
With renovation at Palazzo Sanzio completed, the hotel, wholly owned through the IHF fund managed by Castello SGR, is in a historic building on the Lungotevere Raffaello Sanzio 15, in Rome. Approaching the final stages ahead of its opening, scheduled for this summer, the five-star luxury hotel will open under the Radisson Collection brand.
A short walk from cultural, leisure and shopping districts
Dating back to the beginning of the 20th century Palazzo Sanzio is a prestigious architectural landmark overlooking the River Tiber, just a short walk from Rome’s main cultural, leisure and shopping districts. The extensive and meticulous architectural and interior design project carried out by the international firm De.Tales, has completely transformed the building into a five-star luxury property, combining its historic architectural character with contemporary luxury design and international operational standards.
Views of the river Tiber and Rome’s skyline
Once completed, the property will have 70 rooms and suites as well as refined dining options, an exclusive wellness and fitness centre, and a panoramic terrace with exceptional views of the river Tiber and Rome’s skyline. The hotel will operate under the Radisson Collection brand, part of the Radisson Hotel Group’s global premium portfolio.
Rome, a premier destination for global luxury tourism
Michelangelo Ripamonti, head of hospitality investments at Castello SGR explained: “The completion of Palazzo Sanzio, the future Radisson Collection Hotel, consolidates Castello SGR’s leadership in the luxury hospitality sector in Rome. This transaction follows the successful openings of the InterContinental Rome Ambasciatori Palace and the Leonardo Boutique Hotel Rome Monti, as well as strategic financing for the Nobu Hotel Roma and the Orient Express Hotel La Minerva. Castello SGR’s commitment to the capital city continues to gather pace with the recent acquisition of a new property between Via Veneto and Piazza Barberini. These investments confirm our commitment to elevating Italy’s hospitality heritage to the highest international standards of excellence, thereby ensuring that Rome remains a premier destination for global luxury tourism.”
Four hotel and resort projects in Italy
Emanuel Arbib, CEO of IAM Capital, added: “We are delighted to announce the imminent opening of our first luxury hotel in Rome, as well as our partnership with RHG, with whom we have been collaborating for almost two years to create what could be the best RHG Collection hotel in the world. We have spared no expense or effort to offer our guests the best possible experience in Rome. Palazzo Sanzio, the group’s third hotel property, is the first of four hotel and resort projects we plan to open in Italy over the next two years and demonstrates our strong commitment to the hospitality sector in Italy, both for our group and for its funds.”
