Maestro Giancarlo Menotti, founder of the Festival of the Two Worlds, signed the golden book of the Albornoz Palace Hotel on the opening day, with just one word “finalmente!” (finally!). Finally, a new hotel that could accommodate the numerous music, ballet, theatre and art lovers reaching Spoleto to enjoy a fortnight of performing arts. Ever since its opening, the hotel has undertaken a project of hospitality combined with contemporary art which is still in a developing stage. The art-lover will certainly appreciate the amazing variety of art works, enough to quench his passion, whereas the unknowing traveller will certainly be surprised by the peculiarity of this unique hotel. But for both the welcome will be warm as if emerging from the intense colours composing Sol Lewitt’s Wall Drawing which adorns the lobby.
Spoleto
The splendid position of the city, set in the heart of Italy, and yet within easy reach of all major centres, the atmosphere and magic of a medieval town which has changed little over the years, the magnificent countryside, and a unique artistic heritage, combine to provide perfect conditions for work and for relaxation…
Trekking, horse-back riding and nature holidays, along with artistic and cultural events which have by now become a traditional feature of the city, make it an ideal spot for congresses, holidays… The stage of the world: a tradition which every year excites enthusiasm, emotion and wonder.
The whole town becomes a stage with an audience which forms a kaleidoscope of different languages, brought together by this wonderful artistic and cultural event.
The Albornoz Palace Hotel can offer guests an excellent accommodation combined with a choice of events in the Festival Programme.
As the city is turned into a theatre you will be swept up into a magical whirlwind of art, culture, and social life.
