Destination for An Art Stay in the Heart of Rome

Located in the heart of Rome and blending innovative design and artistic culture, the Borghese ContemporARy HoTel is a unique destination for those who wish to experience art in every aspect of their stay.

Borghese ContemporARy HoTel is positioned as a strategic place, to reach the most evocative monuments of the city. Within a few minutes’ walk, you can reach the Pantheon, the renowned shopping street Via Condotti, the nearby Spanish Steps, and the Trevi Fountain.

A 4-star boutique hotel that embodies the vision of its owners, the brothers Romeo and Guglielmo Piperno. “Modern and contemporary art has always been a great interest of ours. The Borghese Contemporary Hotel combines our deep passion for art, initially for modern art and later increasingly extended towards contemporary art, with the family tradition of hotelkeepers,” says Guglielmo Piperno, owner.

The name, Borghese ContemporARy HoTel, and the logo, strongly resonate with art. The structure is positioned among art hotels due to the rich collection of displayed artworks, which define it, transforming them not merely into decorative pieces but into a medium for knowledge and culture, becoming the main attraction in experiencing the essence of the structure.

“Each space has been designed with art as the fulcrum, each environment is linked by an artistic fil-rouge, with different works that leave an imprint and give personality to the areas. The aim is to introduce established and new artists,” continues Romeo Piperno, owner.
