NEW BOUTIQUE HOTEL LAUNCHED IN ROME

Two buildings have merged to form a new boutique hotel in Rome.

Designer Sabina Guidotti and architecture firm Studio Tamat combined and overhauled their two buildings to create Condominio Monti, a 900-square-metre hotel in Rome's Monti neighbourhood.

The hotel is the brainchild of entrepreneurs Kaja Osinski and Filippo Ribacchi. The hotel is divided across the two properties, and provides guests with views of the city's Colosseum and the apse of the Church of Sant'Agata dei Goti.
