Spring House Hotel Rome Vatican, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Located in the Italian capital just metres away from the Vatican Museum, Spring House Hotel Rome Vatican, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, will be Hilton’s second Tapestry Collection by Hilton hotel in Rome, following the opening of Cosmopolita Hotel Rome, Tapestry Collection by Hilton, in 2022. With some of Italy’s most notable attractions a short walk away, including Saint Peter’s Basilica and the Sistine Chapel, the beautifully situated hotel will feature a restaurant and bar, wellness area, outdoor terrace and 73 contemporary guest rooms.

Palazzo Caracciolo Naples, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Naples will welcome its first Tapestry Collection by Hilton hotel through a franchise agreement with Ownco, which saw the opening of The Britannique Naples, Curio Collection by Hilton in 2020. The hotel – formerly a 13th century palace – was first home of Gioacchino Murat when he arrived in Naples prior to becoming King of Naples. With its Renaissance style and design still in full display today, the hotel will continue to welcome guests while renovations take place and is set to fully rebrand to Tapestry Collection by Hilton this spring. Renovations for the 145-room hotel will feature unique architectural decoration paying homage to both the region’s history and culture with towering ceiling heights, a cloistered courtyard and a monumental staircase. The stunning new addition to Hilton’s Italian portfolio will feature a restaurant and bar, as well as a gym and wellness area and is within walking proximity of the Mediterranean coast.
La Rosetta Hotel Perugia, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Located in the heart of Perugia, the capital of the Umbria region, the opening of La Rosetta Hotel will mark Hilton’s first hotel in the area. With portions of the structure originally built in the 15th century, the 74-guest room hotel boasts stunning hand-painted ceilings, wooden furniture and artwork adorning its many walls. With Perugia being one of Italy’s most popular tourist destinations in recent years, this announcement is reflective of Hilton’s increasing growth in regional cities across Italy. The hotel will be located in the city centre and will provide easy access to nearby historical landmarks as well as accessible connections to the wider Umbria region to cities including Assisi, Todi and Gubbio. Set for completion in the second half of 2025, the hotel follows a franchise agreement with a company owned by the family members of Simone Fittuccia and Rodolfo Mencarelli.
