This year's winner of the "Hotel Design Award" is The Rome Edition in Rome, Italy. The prize was awarded yesterday at the 196+ forum Milan.
Michael Widmann, Global CEO of the PKF hospitality group and Jury chairman: "The resurgence of travelling post-Covid benefitted the whole hospitality and tourism sector. But arguably upscale and luxury hotels in resort destinations and attractive cities benefitted most. So, it is apt that the three finalists of this year's Hotel Design Awards are all from that segment. The finalists are three stunningly well-done examples of a new breed of luxury city hotels: traditional in the sense of comfort they provide, but quirky and sexy in their interpretation of modern luxury."
The Rome Edition sets a new standard in the Italian capital.
Sophistication, attention to detail and high design aesthetics make it a meeting place for Romans and travelers alike. The hotel is located in one of Rome's most beautiful neighborhoods, just steps from Via Veneto, one of Italy's most upscale shopping streets, immortalized in La Dolce Vita and an icon of Italian charm in all its splendor.
The hotel offers a large, lush private courtyard as a retreat and space for a restaurant. From the garden, guests begin their journey as the hotel unfolds like the acts of an opera.
The hotel overlooks the Roman Road, which leads to the heart of the hotel. It has an indoor and outdoor area, a garden with over 400 plants and a cascade of climbing jasmine on the façade.
An imposing bronze canopy overlooks teak sofas and furniture arranged in Italian style, giving the feel of a traditional Roman garden. On one side, the city garden offers seating to unwind, and on the other, a relaxing terrace that is open throughout the day and serves light meals until the evening.
As in all Edition hotels, the lobby is the beating heart of conviviality. Characterized by spectacular seven-meter high ceilings, travertine walls and floors, it is a space that impresses residents and travelers alike.
On the seventh floor, The Roof offers panoramic views of the capital and monuments such as the Pantheon and the Basilica of Sant'Andrea della Valle.
A tranquil space with a large bar area, a travertine swimming pool surrounded by solid teak loungers and bronze vases is located along the outdoor terrace area.
The interdisciplinary 12-member jury selected ten nominees from the 37 hotel applications from 13 European countries.
Of these nominees, the following three hotels were selected for the final (in alphabetical order):
- Maison ELLE (Paris, France)
- Mandarin Oriental Savoy (Zurich, Switzerland)
- The Rome Edition (Rome, Italy)
Sabrina Voecks, Partner and Creative Director at JOI-Design and member of the jury: "Congratulation to The Rome Edition to this prestigious Award! The Hotel is like a secret magical place! Like a Treasure after looking throw a keyhole! With its garden and rooftop it’s an oasis in the city of Rome. Seamlessly bringing the outside in and is blending nature with interior design. Creating a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere for its guests. The hotel feels with its well chosen and reduced design language like a retreat and is a designhighlight in the same way. Well deserved!“
The criteria for the award include the originality of the architectural and design concept, the associated architectural quality of the building and the façade as well as the design of the interior. The focus is on the design approach and the associated "story telling" for a convincing hotel concept.

The atmospheric rooftop bar offers delicious Asian flavors and a breathtaking panoramic view. With its 700 square meters of event space, the Mandarin Oriental Savoy Zurich offers the ideal setting for lavish parties or enchanting weddings in a restored grand ballroom and a historic guild hall.
