Following an extensive restoration, Aleph Rome Hotel - an elegant property in the heart of Rome - has reopened as part of the exclusive Curio Collection by Hilton, a global portfolio of upper upscale, independent hotels and resorts.
Acquired by Al Rayyan Tourism Investment Company "ARTIC" in early 2015, Aleph Rome Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton, is now an 88-room hotel based just a short stroll from the legendary Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Villa Borghese and many other key attractions. The 1930s-built property is the first in Rome and the second in Italy for the rapidly growing Curio Collection by Hilton of locally authentic hotels.
Sheikh Mohammad Bin Faisal Al Thani, Vice Chairman of ARTIC, owner of Aleph Rome Hotel, commented: "We are excited to announce that Aleph Rome Hotel, Curio Collection by Hilton, is now open. We are very proud of this property which has undergone substantial renovation and restoration work to transform it into one of Rome's most distinctive and iconic hotels. This project reflects ARTIC's strategy to add value to its portfolio properties, enhancing their growth and development and increasing the returns on our investments. We are confident that Aleph Rome Hotel will be another long term successful investment and another step in strengthening our position as a growing international hotel investment group."
"We're proud to bring Curio Collection to Rome, a city full of classic treasures," said Mark Nogal, global head, Curio Collection by Hilton. "Aleph Rome Hotel - with its historic yet modern charm and prime location - epitomizes our commitment to allowing guests to discover and experience distinctive hand-picked properties, each with its own character and story to explore."
Mr. Tarek M. El Sayed, Managing Director and CEO of Al Rayyan Tourism Investment Company "ARTIC" also commented:
"This project reflects ARTIC's commitment to maintaining a strong investment presence in the world's leading hospitality markets. The renovation of the Hotel adds significant value to its existing attributes, its central location and beautiful architecture. As part of the Curio Collection, our partnership with Hilton will now ensure it operates to the highest standards, further enhancing its value and demonstrating the continuing momentum of ARTIC's growth as a global hotel investment company."
Roman Charm, Contemporary Features
The property-wide renovation of Aleph Rome Hotel focused on blending its Roman charm with contemporary features, while preserving its spirit, grandeur and historical treasures, including authentic Cipollino marble. Guests will enjoy a distinctly remarkable experience, taking advantage of a wide range of uniquely re-designed guest rooms and suites, restaurants and bars, along with a rooftop pool overlooking the city of Rome. The hotel is conveniently located near the Barberini metro station, between Via Veneto and Piazza Barberini.

Patrick Fitzgibbon, senior vice president, development EMEA, Hilton said: "Italy remains one of the most attractive destinations in the world for tourists, yet less than 5 percent of its hotel stock operates under an international brand. Curio Collection by Hilton offers owners the chance to become part of Hilton and enjoy the benefits of our global network, while maintaining the unique identities of their individual properties. With two Curio Collection hotels now open in Italy we look forward to sharing the benefits of this approach with the market and laying the foundations for further growth."
