There are stays we remember for the view, for the cuisine, for the service. And then there are those that quietly transform us because, for a few nights, they place us inside an artist’s world. In the heart of Rome, Casa Monti  a luxury boutique hotel in the Monti district unveils a new kind of experience with the launch of the McGregor Art Suite, available from April 15, 2026.

Created in collaboration with contemporary artist Michael McGregor as part of a six-month artistic collaboration, suite 203 is no longer simply a hotel room. It is a living, immersive work of art.

Since opening, Casa Monti has redefined the idea of a luxury stay in Rome. Here, art is not simply displayed it is lived. Our motto, Home of the Artist, reflects a deeper vision of hospitality: one where aesthetics, emotion, and culture shape every moment.

Located in Monti, one of Rome’s most creative and historic neighborhoods, the hotel is surrounded by artisan workshops, galleries, and vibrant Roman life. This unique setting naturally inspired our artistic collaborations inviting contemporary artists to engage with the hotel, create, and transform Casa Monti into a living cultural destination.

For travelers seeking an art hotel in Rome, Casa Monti offers an experience that goes far beyond traditional luxury.

Michael McGregor: A Creative Dialogue with Rome

As part of a six-month collaboration with Casa Monti, contemporary artist Michael McGregor develops a body of work inspired by Rome’s textures, light, and layered history.

His artistic language unfolds as a dialogue between material, gesture, and memory, shaped by the Eternal City.

McGregor’s connection to Rome began during a previous stay at Casa Monti, where he explored the Monti district, the Roman Forum, and Baroque palaces with sketchbook in hand. This journey gave rise to Roma Amor, a limited-edition book of drawings offered exclusively to guests of the suite.

Blending Roman mythology, architectural fragments, and intimate impressions, Roma  Amor is both a visual diary and a poetic tribute to Rome.

The McGregor Art Suite: A Unique Art Suite in Rome

The McGregor Art Suite is not a room designed by an artist, it is an artwork you inhabit.

Every detail of suite 203 has been entirely reimagined through Michael McGregor’s artistic vision. Paintings, works on paper, textiles, and ceramics have all been created specifically for this space, making it one of the most unique luxury suites in Rome.

Here, the guest becomes part of the artwork.

You sleep beneath original pieces, touch handcrafted ceramics in the morning light, and leaf through ROMA AMOR over coffee. The experience dissolves the distance between observer and creation, transforming art into something deeply personal and intimate.

What the suite includes: Original artworks created exclusively for the suite · Custom textiles and ceramics · A fully immersive artistic atmosphere · Special amenities : limited-edition backgammon, artist-designed mug, …
