This new Hotel completes the final transformation stage of the area “Venchi Unica”, started off at the beginning of the 90’s. Its location on the important intersection between Piazza Massaua and Corso Francia has offered the opportunity to give a new and strong urban identity to this area, remained abandoned for several decades.
The formal language, different from the previous interventions in this area, proposes dark grey “pierced” facades with irregular matrixes, alternating with the metal facing of the volumes that host the Convention Center, the outside stairs and the mini-suites on the upper floors. The junction to the ground on Corso Francia is transparent and overhanging (hall, restaurant, fitness gym and shops). The southern side, on the back, is matt and dark and only partially interrupted by embrasures for lighting and access. The Hotel has a capacity of 130 rooms, in addition to the convention centre, the restaurant, the fitness gym, three commercial units and a public and private car park on three floors.
