Hyatt unveils 69-key Thompson Rome

The new hotel marks the debut of Thompson Hotels in Italy.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation announced the opening of Thompson Rome, a 69-room hotel owned and operated by AG Group s.r.l. and Rossifin Group, marking the Thompson Hotels brand’s debut in Italy. 

The hotel offers 69 guestrooms. With 19 suites, nearly one-third of the hotel’s accommodation offering, guests can choose from Junior Suites, Suites with patios or terraces, and the 104-square-metre Thompson Suite with 80-square-metre private terrace. Several rooms feature balconies overlooking Via delle Botteghe Oscure, while select rooms offer private patios facing Rome’s historic buildings.

The hotel offers three distinct food and beverage venues including LYVE Restaurant, LYVE Rooftop pairs views across Rome with cocktails, Italian aperitivi and a menu designed for sharing, moving from late afternoon into the evening; and the Lobby Lounge offers the hotel’s casual gathering place throughout the day, from coffee and light fare to aperitivo and cocktails.

The hotel will also extend the guest experience through a year-round program shaped by Rome’s culinary, artistic and creative communities. Experiences will range from culinary workshops and guided tastings to Empire of Light, a photography-led experience from the hotel’s seventh floor that invites guests to discover Rome from above.

Thompson Rome draws on the architectural character of its 1940s home and the layered history of Via delle Botteghe Oscure. “Rome has such a strong identity, so we wanted Thompson Rome to start with the city itself,” said Amar Lalvani, Chief Creative Officer, Hyatt Corporation and President & Creative Director, The Lifestyle Group, Hyatt. “The building, the neighbourhood, the food, the people and the way Romans live all shaped the hotel. The goal was to create a Thompson hotel that feels at home in Rome, a hotel travellers want to discover, and Romans want to come back to.” 

“Rome reveals itself over time, through its neighbourhoods, its art and, most importantly, its people. At Thompson Rome, we want guests to feel connected to that side of the city from the moment they arrive,” said Arturo Gomez, general manager. “Whether it’s discovering the artists represented throughout the hotel, sharing an aperitivo on the rooftop or simply asking a member of our team where they would spend an afternoon, our hope is that the hotel becomes a starting point for experiencing Rome in a more personal way. And for those of us who live here, we want it to become a place you return to again and again.”

Presented throughout the hotel’s public spaces and guestrooms, the artworks are an integral part of the guest experience, connecting the memory of the site with the creativity of Rome today. A rotating artist-in-residence program will further extend Thompson Rome’s connection to the city’s creative community through exhibitions, conversations and other cultural programming.
