Milan-based designer Patricia Urquiola presents a look at the Six Senses Rome, which can be found in the Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini in Rome. The converted palazzo functions as a tranquil spa and hotel and is defined by its circular components and traditional use of Italian materials throughout the space. It has a captivating central staircase and facade, which has a view of the Via del Corso nearby.
The studio explains that "At every turn, the craftsmanship, the finishes, the materials and the graphics create a union with nature while staying true to both Roman classicism and Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini's rich history. The legacy of antiquity is also honoured with the choice of cocciopesto, which decorates the plaster of the rooms and gives a nod to Roman architect Vitruvius."
