Rome, Raggi at the inauguration of the Bernini hotel expansion in Piazza Barberini

After overcoming various bureaucratic criticalities, a plasterboard wall was demolished in the Bernini hotel in Piazza Barberini which allowed the expansion of the 5-star hotel in the center of Rome. At the ribbon cutting the mayor of Rome Virginia Raggi together with the owner of the hotel, and president of Federalberghi, Bernabó Bocca. Raggi: ” It takes courage to leave again ” – ” It is a historic moment for this hotel, we have demolished the wall that separates the hotel from an office structure, with an urban regeneration operation that will allow it to redevelop and expand the hotel – said Raggi – It starts from urban regeneration, with very high standards. Tourism, we cannot deny it, has suffered a great blow from the pandemic. It takes courage to restart. We must focus on high-spending tourism. In Rome, to restart tourist flows, we immediately thought of the Safe tourism sticker for structures that comply with anti Covid regulations. Rome during the pandemic managed to keep the virus on the sidelines, this says a lot to those who want to come on vacation to the capital. And now we also represent to tourists the ability to know how to manage the after-effects of the pandemic ”. Bocca (Federalberghi) ‘let’s start again, 175 rooms in the center of Rome -‘ For us today is an important moment, let’s raise our heads and start again after a knockdown blow that knocked us out- said Bocca- The second wave of Covid was the more terrible. We had already started with this initiative, renting over 2 thousand meters to create a large and important hotel. Today the hotel has 129 rooms and with this expansion it will reach 175 rooms in the center of Rome. We bought the bank on the ground floor and we will also double the rooms on the ground floor to give this city a 5-star hotel in Piazza Barberini. We are confident for the future. We were among the first hotels to reopen, today we want to stay open because we know that especially from the American market there are great signs of optimism. Yesterday there was great enthusiasm for the victory in the Europeans, we hope it will be one of the first bricks for a recovery that may not be so strong in 2021 but that we all hope for in 2022 ”. The presence of the mayor, concluded Bocca “is evidence of the attention of the institutions towards this sector of ours”.
