The Ripa Hotel, established in 1973, was inaugurated in 1998 after a global restyling by the Roselli and King studio. It remains today the most recent and innovative project in the Roman hotel scene: one of the best architecutal expressions of the new international style.Ripa Hotel has strived to stand apart from the status quo of Roman Hotels. The hotel has always chosen to make a cultural and artistic statement of itself daring to use a minimalistic style in a city that has made "classical" its trademark. The result? Original interiors, breathtaking in their simplicity, that provide an atmosphere of functional luxury in one of Rome's most historical and suggestive districts: Trastevere, minutes away from the Vatican, the Colosseum and Circus Maximus.You'll immediately realize the subtle constrasts between new colors and innovative materials. Light, energy and design; all these things figure into what Ripa Hotel is. Design is found in every corner of the hotel from the rooms to the furniture to the restaurant. It is what the Roscioli family holds paramount to their success. The choice of the architects proved to be the extra touch needed to take this four stars hotel into the new millenium with style. In 1999, the hotel was besthowed with another exclusive honor: The title of Design Hotel given by the Lebens Art Group in Berlin.
