What To Expect From A Design Hotel, Rome Style!

In some cities, it is inevitable: people will have – and become known for – a rather distinctive set of personality traits, quite unlike those of other nationals from the same country. New Yorkers, for example, are not like the rest of Americans, nor are Londoners quite like anyone from elsewhere in Britain. Perhaps this phenomenon is most common in capital cities, seeing as it also happens in Italy’s capital.

Guests visiting this iconic European capital should be prepared to come face to face with a certain quirkiness on the part of the locals, which should be accounted for in order to make their stay in the city smooth and hassle-free. Visitors should also be warned that this quirkiness will spread to all sectors of life - from public services to the management of a stylish design hotel, Rome and it's locals' personality will shine through no matter what.

The Accommodation Example

But how exactly does this unique personality exhibited by Romans apply to the running of a design hotel? Rome hotels are always in high demand, so surely they must be run professionally? Well, the truth is, the true local citizen will not let his or her character traits get in the way of their professionalism, but their way of running a business may be more than a little influenced by them.

One Roman character trait that will definitely influence the way a manager may run a design hotel, for instance, is the adaptability the people of this city display. Much like their conquering ancestors, Romans have highly-tuned survival instincts and are rather flexible, traits which translate perfectly into a managerial environment. Guests staying at an upmarket city establishment can therefore expect to have their needs accommodated to the highest degree.

On top of that, Romans are also renowned to be happy-go-lucky, kind, polite, caring and imbued with a certain nobleness of spirit. It is easy to see how all of these traits would contribute to create a certain unique style of management when at the head of a design hotel. Rome hotel managers can therefore be expected to care for their customers and offer them nothing but kindness and politeness. The also rather Roman trait of not letting anything worry them overmuch should not, therefore, be mistaken for aloofness – it simply happens that citizens of Italy’s capital prefer to have their minds at ease whenever possible.

Guests arriving in the Italian capital should, therefore, be prepared to accept and adapt to the locals’ personality and lifestyle – even in the context of their accommodation. After all, as the saying goes, ‘when in Rome...’
