Rome, May 2026 – Aleph Rome Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton, an elegant property in the heart of Rome, proudly announces that it has received two prestigious recognitions at the Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards 2026: Best City Hotel in Italy and Best Design Hotel in Italy.
This double achievement celebrates the hotel for its strategic location in the historic center of the Eternal City, just steps away from the Trevi Fountain, Piazza di Spagna, Via Veneto, and Palazzo Barberini, offering an outstanding experience in one of the world’s most iconic destinations. The awards also highlight its unique architectural identity, which successfully blends historic heritage with a contemporary vision of luxury hospitality.
Originally built in the 1930s as the headquarters of a banking institution, the building underwent a meticulous restoration that preserved original features such as marble finishes, soaring ceilings, and neoclassical details, all reinterpreted with a modern touch. Among its most distinctive features is the transformation of the bank’s original vault into Le Caveau by Narducci Hair & Spa, a wellness sanctuary that still preserves the historic armored door as an authentic reminder of the building’s past, representing the perfect balance between heritage and innovation.

“We are delighted to receive these two recognitions, which are a source of pride for our entire team,” said Valeria Fruscio, General Manager of Aleph Rome Hotel. “Being awarded Best City Hotel in Italy and Best Design Hotel in Italy is deeply exciting for us and gives value to the daily commitment we pursue with dedication, together with a team that always places the guest at the center of every decision.”
