Patricia Urquiola Creates Serenity Amidst Rome’s Chaos at the Six Senses Rome

While most visitors of Rome are expected to immerse themselves in its rich history and architectural marvels, the Eternal City is also home to the opening of its newest wellness-focused luxury hotel, Six Senses Rome. With interiors designed by none other than Patricia Urquiola, Six Senses Rome marks the brand’s first urban property, as well as its first in Italy. Travelers familiar to Rome’s lively and frenetic chaos would agree that a tranquil reprieve would provide tremendous benefits. Opening its doors within the historic Palazzo Salviati Cesi Mellini, the brand also spearheaded the renovation of the San Marcello al Corso Church facade next door.

The hotel’s 96 guest rooms and suites are a tribute to Roman traditions, featuring Cocciopesto walls and Travertine stone, with some suites offering Triclinium-style marble seating on their terraces. The hotel offers 12 accommodation categories, including three unique signature suites. Guests choose between rooms with peaceful courtyard views or suites overlooking Via del Corso and the San Marcello al Corso Church. Despite its central location, the hotel maintains a serene atmosphere, providing a welcome retreat after a day of exploring the city.

Urquiola’s design seamlessly blends classical elements with contemporary, sustainable design while having guests connect with nature throughout the hotel. An abundance of plants enhances this natural connection, furthering a sense of tranquility from the entrance to the rooftop. Her designs exemplify well-being, using materials that reflect the location as well as the Six Senses ethos. The space integrates with the existing architecture of the Palazzo with later additions, respecting the heritage of the building while incorporating newer elements.

Most notable is the Six Senses Spa, which offers a holistic wellness experience, including a modern take on the ancient Roman bathing ritual with a 60-minute circuit that replicates the calidarium, tepidarium, and frigidarium. Treatments range from personalized facials to signature body massages, using premium products and high-tech, high-touch therapies alike.
