自从5月正式对外开放以来，Chapter Roma这座拥有着精致的拱门的酒店已经成为一个充满活力的创意中心。该酒店坐落于罗马迷人的Regola地区的中心，位于一座建于19世纪后期的历史建筑内，拥有42间客房，由著名的南非建筑师Tristan du Plessis设计而成，旨在向Regola地区的工业历史致敬。值得一提的是，Regola地区以其丰富的夜生活、艺术画廊和令人心驰神往的河畔环境而闻名于世，因此，这个地区本身就是一个绝佳的去处，更别说它距离罗马的许多顶级历史遗迹景点如罗马斗兽场（Colosseum）、古罗马城市广场（Roman Forum）和西班牙阶梯（Spanish Steps）等仅有一步之遥。同时，在交通上，酒店距离罗马菲乌米奇诺机场国际机场（Leonardo da Vinci International Airport）27公里，距离洽米皮诺机场（Ciampino Airport）仅有17公里，十分便利。

Since flinging open its elegantly arched doors in May, Chapter Roma has been establishing itself as a vibrant creative hub in the heart of Rome’s charming, cobblestone Regola district. Housed within a late-1800s heritage building, the 42-room hotel has been conceived by acclaimed South African designer Tristan du Plessis as an homage to the area’s industrial past. Famous for its nightlife, art galleries, and enviable riverside location, the Regola neighborhood is a destination in its own right, while being just a stone’s throw from many of Rome’s top historical sights—including the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Spanish Steps. The two closest airports are Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (located 27km away from the hotel) and Ciampino Airport (17km).

酒店的室内设计由来自约翰尼斯堡（Johannesburg）的屡获殊荣的设计师Tristan du Plessis负责，在考虑Chapter Roma酒店的视觉设计时，他参考了Regola地区当前的定位——一个正在蓬勃发展的艺术中心、以及其历史——一片工业锻冶工作的场地等两方面的因素。建筑师对原建筑的结构体系进行了修复和翻新，而新古典主义的主题元素如高大的室内拱门和拱形天花板等，现在则与裸露砖墙和金属装饰等工业风格的美学特征交相辉映，营造出一种醒目的视觉效果。在酒店的公共区域内展出着大量的古典和当代的艺术作品，从而呼应了其所在的充满了画廊的艺术街区和更广义概念上的艺术社区。Alice Pasquini、Warios、Cyrcle、和Willy Verginer等艺术家所创作的艺术品中都或多或少地穿插了一些原始的涂鸦作品，营造出一种充满生机和挑逗意味的艺术空间氛围，从而吸引邻里中那些具有创造性思维的人前来一探究竟。

When considering the visual concept of Chapter Roma, award-winning Johannesburg-based designer Tristan du Plessis drew inspiration both from Regola’s current incarnation as a thriving art hub, and its past life as a center for blacksmithery. The structure of the original building has been restored and reanimated, with neoclassical motifs such as the tall interior arches and vaulted ceilings now strikingly juxtaposed against an industrial-chic aesthetic informed by exposed brickwork and metal accents. The hotel’s contribution to the gallery-filled district and wider artistic community is crystalized by the vast trove of classic and contemporary art pieces on display in the communal areas. Artworks by the likes of Alice Pasquini, Warios, Cyrcle, and Willy Verginer are interspersed with original graffiti resulting in vibrant, provocative spaces that capture the creative zeitgeist of the neighborhood.

裸露的砖石、未经处理的原钢材、黄铜和金属铜等材料以精致的拱形天花板、人字形地砖铺就而成的地面和意大利中世纪的家具为背景进行设置，而墙壁上的一系列涂鸦和空间中陈列的艺术品则激发了整个公共空间的对话。相对应地，酒店的客房并没有咄咄逼人的艺术气息，使得旅客们能够尽情地放松身心，同时在繁华的首都内创造出一片城市空间的绿洲，此外，这座酒店还计划加建一座有机食品市场，来展销来自周边乡村的瓜果蔬菜和精美的食物。

Exposed brick, raw steel, brass and copper are set against an elegant canvas of vaulted ceilings, herringbone floors, and midcentury Italian furniture, while graffiti and statement artworks spark conversation throughout the public areas. The guestrooms are provocatively art-free for relaxing reflection—creating an urban oasis in the midst of the bustling capital—and an organic food market is planned to celebrate the surrounding countryside’s exquisite natural bounty.

酒店的Chapter Lobby Bar酒吧看上去则有些年代感，但这并不妨碍其散发自身独特的魅力，白天里，它为当地人和旅客提供咖啡、果汁和沙冰等，而到了夜晚，则为人们提供鸡尾酒和烈酒。宽敞的公共桌子鼓励陌生人之间的交流和互动，而角落处和空间凹角处的豪华天鹅绒沙发则创造出一种更加私密的环境。对于美食爱好者来说，Chapter Roma酒店也将是一个绝佳的去处，因为酒店的熟食店市场也计划于今夏晚些时候开放，配合着一个果汁和沙拉吧，为人们提供一系列精选的意大利有机产品，此外，酒店的餐厅也将于2019年年底开放。

Gritty yet glamorous, the Chapter Lobby Bar brings together locals and guests alike with coffee, juices and smoothies during the day, and cocktails and spirits when the sun goes down. The expansive communal table encourages interaction and engagement among strangers, while plush velvet sofas are nestled into corners and nooks for a more intimate setting. For the more gastronomic minded, the hotel’s deli-come-bistro, Market, will open later this summer offering a curated selection of organic Italian produce alongside a juice and salad bar, and a restaurant is also due to open by the end of 2019.
