In spring 2024, Chef Carlo Cracco will conceive and develop the food and beverage offerings for Corinthia Rome. Chef Cracco will bring his unique culinary approach to Rome for the first time in a stunning location on Piazza del Parlamento, a 10-minute walk from Piazza Navona.

Corinthia Rome will occupy a seven-floor building originally built in 1914 to house Bank of Italy. A revered historic structure, the palazzo maintains its original façade overlooking the Parliament of Italy, while inside, it is being entirely redesigned to offer exceptional hospitality, design, food and beverage, and guest services.

“I am honored to partner with Corinthia Hotels and contribute to the development of such an ambitious project,” said Chef Cracco.“It will be so exciting to find new ways to seduce international and local guests with a food proposal that will combine my signature approach with influences coming from Rome, the Eternal City, an incomparable source of beauty and inspiration.”

“We are very happy to welcome Carlo Cracco to our Rome hotel,” said Simon Naudi, CEO, Corinthia Hotels. “He brings craftsmanship and a culinary expertise that is entirely aligned to our vision of authenticity and provenance for our first hotel in Italy.”

The 60-room Corinthia Rome will offer a bar; lobby lounge; luxury spa and gym; and an open-air garden courtyard, enabling guests to enjoy Rome’s mild climate for most of the year.

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
