The Next Future Hotel will assume a central role in the conservation and enhancement of the tangible and intangible identity of the territory, in the promotion of sustainable tourism and in the encouragement for intercultural encounters and dialogues. It will be a calibrated and sophisticated cocktail of traditional elements, architectural and not, and technological innovations, which will be, even if able to provide more and more sophisticated and enveloping experiences, the most hidden and discrete as possible, in order to ensure the maximum sense of comfort and hospitality. It will be conceived in all its parts, to excite and amaze, transforming a simple stay into a memorable experience.
The entrance lobby will be cozy and comfortable as a living room. It will be used as a meeting point and will be able to house several different functions: library, temporary shop, exhibition venue, etc. Guests won’t find a real solid reception desk -obstacle to interpersonal connections- but they will be welcomed personally by the concierge and checked in digitally.
The restaurant, as a primary activity of the hotel, able to attract also external customers and not only internal guests, will have definitely a unique and sophisticated atmosphere and will offer, with the menu, the service, and the interior design, a memorable experience. Wide communal tables will encourage exciting encounters and dialogues among cultures.
The bedroom will be intimate and cozy, with a well balanced mix of traditional elements and iconic pieces of design. It will be an high-tech smart room, easily controlled by phone or pad, but all the technological devices will be as much hidden and discrete as possible. Relaxation and regeneration will be the key to success of a room always ready -on demand- to amaze.
