In the heart of Rome

Finstral windows and doors for the Romeo Hotel in Rome enhance the harmony between the building's historical heritage and contemporary architectural innovations

An architectural restoration by Studio Zaha Hadid, this exclusive 5-star boutique hotel with 74 rooms is located within a 16th-century historic palace near Piazza del Popolo, skillfully blending art, architecture, design, gastronomy, and wellness. Great attention was paid to thermal and acoustic insulation and sustainability, integrating solutions capable of enhancing the harmony between historical heritage and architectural innovations.

Specifically, Finstral supplied FIN-Project Cristal windows and FIN-Vista glass facades, which stand out for their use of glass without visible frames and special glass designed to improve acoustic insulation. Finally, the use of Parsol Grey ensured privacy for guests, protecting them from prying eyes.
