Drama at the Bank

Oh I love this, a converted bank in Rome really knows how to make a scene. The Rome Edition was a 1940s bank designed by Cesare Pascoletti and Marcello Piacentini and now has a second life as a 91 bedroom hotel. 

The colour of each space is limited and intense, be that coming from the wall to ceiling foliage in the courtyard or the epic draping curtains in the lobby in their verdant green or the cobalt blue furnishings of the bar. The super focussed pallet really sets the mood.

The rooms though tell a different story. Smooth and subtle, the walnut panelling and strokable leather have a calming mid century vibe. The rooms feel safe, secure and snuggled, rather like a journey perhaps on the Orient Express but with more space to drape your dresses. These are a stylish blank canvases for you to paint your own story.

The thing with a hotel is everyone there has a story to tell, something to conceal, something to celebrate. This space feels like a story in itself, like you have climbed into the arms of a rather intriguing novel.
