The Grand Hotel Plaza is the Roman hotel where culture and history are brought together to form a symbol of elegance and harmony. In a prime setting in the heart of Rome's historic centre, this iconic palazzo is just a few steps from the famous Spanish Steps, and the prestigious shopping streets that are home to the boutiques of international luxury brands.
In 1862, the historical fortunes of the old Palazzo Lozzano drew to a close, marking the beginning of the reconstruction work that would culminate in the current building. The work was entrusted to the architect Antonio Sarti, who had already been involved in building the original Palazzo Lozzano in 1832. Sarti transformed the building significantly, and the new, elegant "Albergo di Roma" was born in the place of the Palazzo Lozzano.
Architect Sarti initially planned to extend the original façade to cover a large part of the street. However, the project underwent a number of changes during its realisation, and in 1864 the "Albergo di Roma" was opened for business, maintaining its largely unchanged form for the next forty years.
The interior and furnishings of the Grand Hotel Plaza are a marvel of finesse and artistry. The passage of time has not detracted from the compactness and harmony of the designs adopted by architects and decorators from the early 19th century, to the Art Nouveau and Art Deco years, including influences of rationalism. Every detail of the hotel tells the story of different eras, masterfully combined to create a unique and fascinating ambience.
Under the leadership of the architect Edgardo Negri, the interior of the Palazzo was redesigned in 1902 and acquired the sumptuous Art Nouveau style that still characterises it today. It was on this occasion that "l'Albergo di Roma" assumed its current name of "Hotel Plaza". The Art Nouveau decoration, stucco work, and tapestries in the lounges were designed by architect and stage designer Renzo Mongiardino (1916-1998), one of the most influential space creators of the second half of the 20th century.
The decor of the Grand Hotel Plaza represents a skilful combination of the so-called minor and major arts: paintings, stuccoes, stained glass and furnishings harmoniously coexist, creating the most interesting aspect of the building. This decorative ensemble not only enriches the surroundings, but also seems to be inspired by a very specific concept, in which each element helps to create a unique and refined setting.
