Description
This hotel was designed by Marcello Piacentini. It is also known as the 'graticello maggiore' of Piazza Dante. It was designed to have a visual relationship with Piacentini's Piazza della Vittoria, also designed by Piacentini. The terrazza Martini on the 31st floor provides a spectacular view of the Medieval city and port, and was once boasted to be accessed by Europe's fastest elevator.
