Radiator installed: SUNSHINE ENERGY
Material: steel
Functioning: electric
Palazzo Velabro (Design Hotels by Marriott), built in Rome in the first half of the 1700s with a splendid view of the Fori Imperiali, after the first conservative restoration carried out in the 1960s by Luigi Moretti, has reopened as a design hotel in early 2023, under the management of the white label specializing in hotel management LHM, and signed by the Milan-based design studio GaribaldiArchitects. The hotel, furnished with original, vintage and tailor-made design objects consists of 33 rooms on 5 floors including 27 design suites also equipped with kitchens, a Social Floor as an entrance lounge, a cinema, the Apicio 16 restaurant, ending with an enchanting terrace overlooking the Roman belvedere from a unique location. Sunshine Energy, the ultra-thin radiant plate made of steel foil (only 14mm thickness) with innovative electric operation, designed by the styling department of Scirocco H has been chosen to heat the splendid bathrooms of the structure thanks to its technological heart formed by a resistive heating circuit inserted in a low-thickness silicone sheath, a special technology that allows an excellent heat exchange between the heating elements and the metal surface of the radiator.
