L'O - Hotel L'Orologio inspired by the best watch brands



L'O - Hotel L'Orologio is unique in being inspired by the prestigious world of international high-end watchmaking as well as by owner Sandro Fratini's personal collection of over 2,000 vintage timepieces.
Inside, some of the most beautiful timepieces have been transformed into decorative elements and design themes. Each floor of the 54-room hotel is dedicated to a specific luxury watch brand from Fratini's collection: Rolex, Vacheron-Constantin and Patek Philippe. The interior design by architect Marianna Gagliardi is evocative of a traditional men's club, employing materials such as leather, parchment, burnished bronze, mahogany and velvet along with the colors and aromas of tobacco. Duplex rooms are particularly plush, while a restaurant, bar and library all offer cozy sanctuaries.
