The Originals City Arca Street Art Hotel, Spoleto
Arca Street Art Hotel The Originals City
With its immense fresco covering its austere 60s façade, the Hotel Arca can be seen from afar in Spoleto. “It was painted by a local world-renowned artist,” says Carla with pride. Art is a constant fixture in this three-star hotel, from reception to the 57 rooms and restaurant. A dreamlike world with nature and Umbrian symbols in the spotlight. A few years ago, with a law degree under her belt, the young Carla stepped away from her career opportunities to take over the family hotel opened in 1964. “It’s one of Italy’s first motels, inspired by the American concept of a place where travellers can be sure of good-value accommodation with washing and refuelling facilities.” It remains so to this day. The strong retro vibe in no way compromises on the comfort and services now expected.
Rooms
The Originals City, Arca Street Art Hotel, Spoleto
Like the rest of the hotel, the 57 rooms at the Hotel Arca showcase the work of national and international artists. Some focus on deeply poetic wall frescos depicting typical Umbrian plants, while others highlight posters from the Festival dei due mondi which has taken place annually in Spoleto since 1958. Spacious, comfortable and functional, the rooms present a simple design with strong neo-sixties lines in a nod to the hotel architecture.

Tips from your hotelier
SPOLETO
A former Roman city, Spoleto winds around a hill crowned with a papal fortress. Austere in appearance, Spoleto offers wanderings down winding lanes, palaces and medieval monuments. And, every summer, the Festival dei due mondi music, dance and theatre festival takes place during the last two weekends of August.

DUOMO DI SANTA MARIA ASSUNTA
Roman in style, Spoleto’s Santa Maria Assunta cathedral was built in the 12th century. Remodelled over time, it boasts a beautiful Renaissance portico, a rose window and a 13th century mosaic. Stunning frescos can be found inside.

PONTE DELLE TORRI
This 230 metre-long bridge rests on nine Gothic arches, 76 metres above the Ticino river. It sits atop a Roman aqueduct which forms the foundations of the bridge. This is the starting point for a lovely panoramic walk across the verdant hills to return to the lower city.
