Duomo Hotel

Opened in May 2006, Duomo hotel is the inaugural hotel project by internationally renowned architect and designer, Ron Arad. This much anticipated launch sees the use of alternative materials, bright colours and unusual shapes to produce a hotel that reverses design expectations, creating an overall experience that is both futuristic and exciting. "What would please me most in a hotel is not someone else's idea of chic, elegance of style, but rather comfort, clarity and ease of access to information, entertainment and ambience," said Ron Arad. On arrival in the hotel, guests pass through giant pinball flipper doors and walk towards the stunning stainless steel ring that forms the reception desk.
