Unusually for Rome, arriving guests go through a sunken garden “piazza”. It acts as an outdoor lounge, restaurant extension, and gathering place – before reaching the lobby.

Once inside, dramatic seven-metre-high ceilings, full-height windows and green curtains, and travertine floors and walls set the tone for The Edition’s signature brand of soft minimalism.

Symmetrical arrangements of custom white furniture and low coffee tables exaggerate the strict geometry of the architecture.

“The lobby is Edition at its most dynamic,” said the team. “It is a place to relax and make merry; a place to see or play a few games of pool on the custom-made table.”
