Former Monastery Hotel
The hotel is housed in a former monastery, the origins of which are believed to date back to the 6th and 7th centuries. It is easy to distinguish elements of the baroque and romanesque styles and the building has three incredible cloisters: one Romanesque, one Gothic and the third in Renaissance style, where you can spend a peaceful evening in a subdued atmosphere with the soft sounds of religious music as an accompaniment.

Former Monastery Hotel
Originally built in the late 17th century, the monastery came to life through the ambition of Sister Rosa Pandolfi, a descendant of the noble family Pontone di Scala who had taken up residence in Conca dei Marini. Finally it was purchased by a Roman hotelier Mr. Marcucci, who recognised the property’s historic value and the old convent was transformed into a hotel in 1924. Esteemed for its authentic simplicity typical of monastic life, the Hotel Santa Rosa became one of the 39 castle hotels of Italy. The hotel’s motto was “At each window, the sun."

In one of Italy’s most fashionable shopping districts, find a 15th-century convent transformed into an urban sanctuary of luxury and comfort. A dramatically reborn convent with a mere 118 rooms and suites, this hotel is steps from Milan's couture houses and financial district on the exclusive Via Gesù between Via Montenapoleone and Via della Spiga. Historians soon unravelled the story of an old convent that had been converted to a private residence in the late 1700s, when many of the features of the ancient church and cloister were hidden. Before long, frescos and stuccos emerged – many dating to Medieval times – and today they are part of the distinct décor that characterises the Hotel, including the spectacular soaring ceilings of its most favoured guest rooms.

On the island, a church was ordered to be built in the 12th century, which was renovated in the 14th century and accommodated monks throughout the centuries. In the early 19th century, all the Camaldolese monks were forced to leave the church and the island when Napoleon Bonaparte suppressed the Italian religious orders and the monastery was abandoned. It was first renovated and opened as a hotel in 2003, while the Kempinski group purchased and re-opened it as the luxurious hotel it is today in 2016.
