NH Torino Lingotto Congress ★★★★

Sharp, colourful style
From the eye-popping cherry red and pine green Fiat 500s in The Italian Job to the sharp tailoring of Marcello Rubini and Anita Ekberg in La Dolce Vita, Italian style was, and still remains today, iconic and, quite simply, cool. Similar elegance and style can be found throughout the hotel, with minimalist curved armchairs lining the dining room and lobby, while the chic muted tones of wood and grey are given a pop of colour in the rooms. The vintage Fiats on display fit right in as you are transported back to this era of elegance.

Luxurious comfort
Whether you’re talking about architecture, furniture design or even automobile manufacturing, the Italians prized comfort in the early 20th century, and the hotel’s expert use of space and materials reflects this dedication. Just look at the high ceilings and luxurious fabrics of the rooms, or the glass walkway through the garden thick with exotic trees, as it all adds up to an incredibly relaxing atmosphere.

Meticulous attention to detail
Once the Fiat factory, the history of this building merits celebration, and small details throughout the hotel nod to this. Technical diagrams and vintage photos crop up in subtle touches in the rooms and dining room, while up on the rooftop, the old testing circuit is still there, now used by the odd jogger for a morning workout. Similar meticulousness is found in the restaurant, from the lavish and varied breakfast buffet to the Italian-fusion cuisine at night, best enjoyed outside in the scented gardens.
