Global lifestyle brand Nobu Hospitality has announced plans to open its first hotel in Italy in summer 2022.

Nobu Hotel and Restaurant Roma is a collaboration between Carlo Acampora, Chairman and CEO Grand Hotel Via Veneto, and Nobu Hospitality which will lead the transformation of the luxurious Grand Hotel into a Nobu Hotel and Restaurant.

Located in the historic heart of Rome, on the exclusive and world-renowned Via Veneto and just a short walk from the stunning park of Villa Borghese, Piazza Barberini, Trevi Fountain, and Piazza di Spagna, Nobu Hotel Roma is the union of two 19th Century buildings combined to create a modern masterpiece that celebrates its grand, historic past.

An integrated mix of a luxurious hotel and energised living spaces, Nobu Hotel Roma will house 122 guest rooms and suites, including a 500sqm Nobu Suite, a green-rooftop terrace, indoor and outdoor meeting space.

Facilities also include a full-service city spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, a Nobu Restaurant offering 24-hour in-room dining and an exclusive club lounge for enjoying world-class music.

Nobu Hotel and Restaurant Roma will be focused on the guest experience with an eco-friendly and sustainable approach.

The brand’s founders Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro, and Meir Teper said in a statement: "Rome is the gastronomic hub of the world and the ideal location for the Nobu brand.

“We are pleased to be partnering with Carlo Acampora on this exciting project and to bring the famous Nobu cuisine to the residents of Rome as well as visitors from around the world.

“Rome is an extraordinary mix of high culture, the arts, fashion, and historic architecture. And so, we are honoured now to be able to be a part of the Eternal City through this thrilling opening."
