Hotel Principi di Piemonte, hotel in Turin, Italy
Hotel Principi di Piemonte is a luxury five-star hotel in downtown Turin designed in the rationalist style. The building features a travertine stone base topped by eight floors of guest rooms arranged around an interior courtyard, with modern amenities including a spa and fitness area.
The hotel was designed in 1934 by architects Vittorio Bonadé Bottino and Giovanni Chevalley and completed in 1936. It was part of a major urban renewal plan to modernize Turin and finished in time for the 1938 World Exposition.
The hotel is named after the Piedmont princes, reflecting Turin's historical connection to the region. Inside, the gilded mosaics and Murano glass chandeliers in the banquet hall show how luxury and elegance were understood in the 1930s.
The hotel is near Via Roma and easily walkable from the main train station, with direct access to shops and historical sights. Visitors should note that entry to the city center has traffic restrictions requiring a permit form that staff can complete.
The building often goes unnoticed by visitors compared to other landmarks, yet it stands as a notable example of rationalism architecture in Italy. It underwent major renovation for the 2006 Winter Olympics and reopened in 2019 with modern features while preserving its original form.
