DESIGN Created by the architect Adam Tihany, the Hotel Aleph in Rome looks like the set of Dante’s Divine Comedy, divided between Paradise and Hell: while the Sin restaurant (decked out in ravishing red) and Angelo bar are located on the floors above, the heavenly Paradise spa is located in the basement. Built where the bank building's vaults once stood, the Aleph's Paradise Spa is an exclusive and intimate retreat, open for both hotel guests and external customers: the spa offers a sauna, Turkish bath and thermal swimming pool, as well as a small gym outfitted with exercise machines and equipment. The pool has a long form with essential and refined design, enhanced with the most luxurious lining, mosaic. Through a rectangular opening, the pool trickles into a larger one, which stands out with the rigour of straight lines. The surroundings that hold them and put them in communication with the showers through glass walls are really sophisticated, in theme with the whole style of the hotel itself. The walls are lined with white thassos marble slabs and weaves of blue Bisazza mosaic. The blue color plays an important role here, while in the bathroom the black granite floor is in contrast with the red walls with mosaic. HOTEL ALEPH “ Paradise Spa ”
