Discover the Lounge
A striking orange ceiling, both sculptural and luminous, creates a bold focal point, its reflective surface amplifying movement and energy. Tubular neon chandeliers extend this dynamism, casting a soft, diffused glow that guides travellers through the space. Original mosaics by Giulio Rosso and Maria Zaffuto, depicting scenes from Roman mythology and history, have been meticulously preserved, reinforcing the dialogue between past and present. The space is further enriched by artworks evoking grand voyages, romantic cityscapes, exotic landscapes, a nod to the timeless allure of train travel. By blending historical grandeur with contemporary sophistication, Hugo Toro creates a sanctuary that captures the romance of Italian travel while honouring Roma Ostiense’s architectural codes.
