Overlooking the Piazza dell’Esquilino in the Monti district of the Italian capital, the DoubleTree by Hilton Rome Monti has debuted with an elevated style conceived by London-based design studio THDP. The design-driven concept, which is housed within two transformed structures, pays homage to the historic vernacular of its location with a palette dominated by earth tones, natural materials including wood, stone, and plaster and contemporary accents of brushed metal, bronze, and copper.

In line with those local vibes, the DoubleTree’s owners tapped London-based design firm THDP and to capture a genuine Roman essence.
