Palazzo Ripetta has been built and refined upon a foundation of hospitality that has remained a driving force and source of passion throughout its history.

This is why we have created an innovative, zero-impact structure that runs entirely on 100% renewable energy.

From ancient Roman finds to Baroque masterpieces and contemporary works of art, our collection includes notable pieces such as the iconic Sfera by Pomodoro, the works of Burri and Scialoja, the Bernini hall with its stunning Triga fresco, and sculpture by Lorenzetti. We are also proud to showcase works by renowned artists like Giacomo Manzù and pioneers of New York street art, such as Angel Ortiz, all of which speak to our vision of art and culture as the cornerstone of a truly exceptional hospitality experience
