Qatar-based Al Rayyan Tourism Investment Company’s (ARTIC) property in Rome, Aleph Rome Hotel, has been opened after extensive renovation, according to a statement from the  company.
Aleph Rome Hotel,  an elegant property, is part of the exclusive Curio Collection by Hilton, a global portfolio of upper upscale, independent hotels and resorts.
