Rome’s first grand hotel was opened by celebrated hotelier César Ritz in 1894. In November 2018, The St. Regis Rome unveiled its meticulous multi-million euro restoration, ushering in a new era of modern glamour for this Italian icon. The hotel’s exquisite new look was conceived by renowned interior design firm Pierre-Yves Rochon Inc and honors the proud 125-year legacy. To crown the renovation, the hotel features a number of exclusive partnerships: international art gallery Galleria Continua showcases masterpieces by the best exponents of the contemporary art scene; the employees’ uniforms have all been reimagined by fashion designer Giada Curti, and in the lounge bar, Lumen, Cocktails & Cuisine, the menus have been created by Roman-born illustrator Gianluca Biscalchin and cocktails are served in unique glassware designed by contemporary artists Nico Vascellari and Federico Pepe. A new drink list has also been created, which includes the Red Admiral – a revised version of the Bloody Mary and part of St. Regis Rituals – the Mini Ming and the Pozzanghere (the bar’s two signature glasses and cocktails), and the eponymous Lumen cocktail.
