The result isHotel Romeo Roma, one of Hadids last projects before herdeath in 2016.
Boasting 74 rooms and suites, Hotel Romeo Roma strikes a rare balance between historical and contemporary architecture.
Traditional Roman vaults serve as a primary source of inspiration, expressed through ZHAs swooping ceilings.

These ceilings reimagine a Roman vaults geometrical profile while also being imbued with a dynamic sense of movement.
All the different rooms, down to the furniture, are designed with this concept.
One of the most ambitious additions to Hotel Romeo Roma is its impressive courtyard.

Beneath this garden is a subterranean gallery.
Other historical artifacts populate the hotel as well.
ZHAs design prioritizes restoration in tandem with Italys culture of exceptional artisanship.
