Palazzo Fendi set to unveil the brand’s first Boutique Hotel in Rome


Fendi is taking its designer touches to bring us a new experience – the company’s first boutique hotel within the Palazzo Fendi, the Fendi Private Suites in the glorious city of Rome. This is the second Fendi landmark in the city after the fashion brand opened their new headquarters in the city in the 75-year-old, Palazzo della Civilta Italiana – a geometric edifice of symmetrical arches nicknamed “The Square Colosseum”, a building from the World War II-era icon of Fascist architecture.

The five-story, 17th-century building is also home to Fendi’s largest store in the world, spread over 10,800 square feet by architect Gwenael Nicolas, with a section dedicated to Fendi’s in-house fur atelier.
