As anticipated at the end of the year, the Pacini Group's new property in Rome has opened its doors.
The charm of the 19th-century Grand Tour
Following two years of intense work, The Goethe Hotel is the complete renovation of an ancient building in Passeggiata di Ripetta, between Piazza del Popolo and the Ara Pacis, and owned by the S2C insurance company. Inspired by the intellectual and artistic legacy of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the property aims to bring back to life the charm of the 19th-century Grand Tour, thanks to the work of the Pacini Group project management team, in collaboration with the Chiara Caberlon Studio and the architect Claudia Benzi.
Vintage memorabilia and a library
The 27 rooms and suites are a tribute to romantic travellers: velvet is predominant, with different colours that adapt to the environment, and in each room there is a desk and the right atmosphere to experience their own personal Grand Tour. In the hall, guests are welcomed by the Infinite Library: a circular area designed to pay homage to culture and curiosity. The space also includes works of art and objects linked to Goethe, including 19th-century binoculars, a traveller's flask and paintings of the great German poet. There are many details to discover, such as vintage trunks that become minibars, or wardrobes that, when opened, offer guests glimpses of works of art and objects reminiscent of a Wunderkammer.
A journey of taste dedicated to Italian traditions
The Affinity - Kitchen & Alchemy restaurant and lounge bar is all about the links between the various ingredients, for a journey of taste dedicated to Italian traditions, and using local products. The Goethe Hotel also has a spa with a sauna and Turkish bath, inspired by the other side of the Mediterranean with its more exotic and distant atmospheres. The Goethe Hotel is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World affiliate.
