Three New Stylish Hotel Openings In Italy
From Forte dei Marmi to Rome, here are three of the coolest new hotel openings in Italy.
Pensione America, Forte dei Marmi
Reopened on April 17, Pensione America, an iconic villa steeped in Versilia's history, offers an exclusive adults-only boutique hotel experience. Surrounded by wisteria and majolica, it reinvents the Italian holiday with a touch of retro charm, artisanal luxury, and a summer dedicated to sun-drenched relaxation. As one of Forte dei Marmi's first villas, Pensione America returns, bringing to light the refined elegance of a bygone era, now with a fresh perspective. Discover the discreet grace of a holiday where time slows down, exclusively for adults. Mornings at Pensione America unfold with a cappuccino enjoyed on the veranda, where the garden's lemon fragrance mingles with the invigorating sea air. Just two hundred meters away lies Bagno Assunta, the hotel's private beach club with its iconic white cabins, unchanged for generations.

Orient Express La Minerva, Rome
Rome is fabulous in the spring, when skies are clear and blue, and it’s still not too scorching to explore its streets on foot. Fully in spring mode, the Eternal City is carpeted in wisteria, azaleas, and poppies — and the Villa Borghese gardens are at their most lush and green. So, where to stay? Experience the allure of Rome in timeless style at the new Orient Express La Minerva, nestled in the heart of the city on the iconic Piazza della Minerva. This XVIIth-century Palace, now a member of the Orient Express family, offers a captivating blend of Rome’s rich past and an exciting contemporary spirit. With its deep historical roots, remarkable architectural heritage, and exquisite interior design that harmoniously combines classical and contemporary elegance, the hotel invites discerning travelers to immerse themselves in the unparalleled Orient Express Art of Travel. Opened in April 2025, the interiors of Orient Express La Minerva are a celebration of the brand's legendary ties to travel, infused with the vibrant spirit of Rome. Expect luxurious textures, elegant Art Deco-inspired motifs, and striking original marble statues by the renowned sculptor Rinaldo Rinaldi.
