Ruby Group unveils Ruby Giulia in Rome

The Ruby Group, led by CEO and founder Michael Struck, expands its presence in Italy with the opening of Ruby Giulia. Located on Via Agostino Depretis, just steps from Piazza Venezia, the 5,300-square-metre property reimagines a former Ministry of the Interior office into a 164-room hotel. Designed as an urban retreat in the heart of the city, Ruby Giulia features a 24/7 bar and café, inviting lounge areas that connect seamlessly with the neighborhood, and a rooftop terrace offering sweeping views over the Eternal City.         

Design Story - From Rome with Love

The design of Ruby Giulia draws inspiration from the glamour and intrigue of 1970s spy thrillers, subtly reflecting the building’s past within the realm of internal security. Inside, guests are immersed in a cinematic world of deep emerald, burnt orange, and red tones, contrasted with terrazzo surfaces, brass accents, and soft velvet textures. The result feels both mysterious and inviting, like stepping onto a film set waiting for its next scene. Influenced by Fellini and Roman filmmakers whose work continues to shape Italy’s contemporary culture, the design celebrates cinematic artistry in every detail. Mirrors on the walls and ceiling in the public areas create ever-changing perspectives, allowing guests to catch subtle glimpses of other corners of the space, a playful nod to the world of spies and secret observation. Hints of the building’s history are subtly woven into the storytelling of “From Rome with Love.” Through a thoughtful mix of rich colors and vintage furniture, the interiors capture the charm of a bygone era while remaining unmistakably modern. Each space is crafted with intention, intimate, expressive, and full of character.        

Rooted in the Heart of Rome 

Ruby Giulia is set in the vibrant Monti district, one of the city’s most authentic neighborhoods where cobbled streets, artisan shops, and lively cafés capture the true Roman spirit. Just steps from Piazza Venezia, the hotel is within walking distance of landmarks such as the Colosseum, Trevi Fountain, and Termini Station, while Fiumicino Airport is only 35 minutes away. Surrounded by independent boutiques, traditional osterias, and creative studios, Ruby Giulia feels like a natural extension of the neighborhood - a place where locals and travellers meet over an espresso, an aperitivo, or a late-night drink under the Roman sky.              

Rooms - Lean Luxury, Italian Soul     

Ruby Giulia offers 164 rooms across four categories: Cosy, Lovely, Wow, and Loft.

Ranging from 17 to 31 square metres, each room is designed for modern travellers who value quality and simplicity.
