Leonardo Hotels has acquired the Hotel Cicerone Rome from Banco BPM for a price said to be around €70 mln.
The hotel will reopen as NYX Hotel Rome by Leonardo Hotels after a comprehensive renovation. Leonardo Hotels is now represented with two hotels in Rome and a total of seven hotels in Italy.
The hotel is located in the heart of the Eternal City in the Prati neighbourhood between the historic old town and the Vatican City. With almost 300 rooms spread over eight floors, a restaurant, bar, courtyard with terrace and multi-storey car park, the hotel is perfect for a city break in Rome. Three spacious meeting rooms with a capacity of up to 100 people also make the hotel an attractive venue for meetings and events.
The hotel is currently closed for extensive refurbishment and will reopen as the NYX Hotel Rome by Leonardo Hotels in early 2025. The hotel will feature stylish rooms designed according to the NYX concept, an extravagantly designed lobby and an unconventional NYX bar and restaurant.
'We are delighted to have been awarded the contract for this traditional hotel in this desirable location in the centre of Rome. With our first NYX hotel in Rome, we are set for further expansion in beautiful Italy,' said Yoram Biton, managing director, Leonardo Hotels Central Europe.
