GombitHotel
Medieval-meets-minimalist. Raw 13th-century stone and ancient wooden beams set against clean Italian design, muted earth tones, and carefully chosen art pieces. Feels more like a creative home than a hotel.
Book the Tower Junior Suite (49 m²) if budget allows — it sits inside the actual Gombito Tower with historic stone and wood details that are unmatched anywhere in the hotel.
Why It Matters
One of the only hotels in Bergamo Alta itself, sitting steps from Piazza Vecchia inside an authentic medieval building. The architecture is the attraction — you sleep inside a structure that predates the Venetian walls surrounding it. Member of Design Hotels™ and available through Marriott Bonvoy.
A 15-room Design Hotels member property inside a 13th-century stone building in Bergamo Alta, directly next to the 12th-century Gombito Tower. Original stone walls and carved wooden ceiling beams are left fully exposed throughout, and designer Giò Pozzi layered them with handmade lightweight linens in earthy neutrals and warm contemporary furniture. Owner Nadia Galeotti treats the communal spaces as a gallery for local artisan work — think sculptures made from salvaged renovation materials and a library ceiling lined with bright red books.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Classic Double Room
The entry-level room but not a compromise — at 18 m² it is compact and precise. Air conditioning, soundproofing, minibar, coffee machine, flat-screen TV, and free WiFi are standard across all room types. Expect unique design details and a personality that no generic hotel room at this price would have. Views are either city-facing or toward the inner courtyard.
18 sqm
Deluxe Double Room
Four Deluxe rooms, all different from each other in colour, character, and layout. At 26 m² they are the most spacious of the standard room categories. Bright and colourful spaces with original furnishings designed specifically for the hotel, special fabrics, and double or twin bed configurations. Shower bathroom.
26 sqm
Superior Double Room
Three superior rooms, each with a king-size bed and shower bathroom. At 22 m² there is noticeably more breathing room than the Classic. Minimal furnishings in refined colour palettes, special fabrics, and Giò Pozzi's characteristic restraint throughout. Sleeps up to 3.
22 sqmTower Junior Suite
The signature room, physically inside the Gombito Tower. At 49 m² it is the largest single-level room and the most architecturally spectacular — precious stone walls, carved wooden elements, plush fabrics, and a balcony with city and landmark views. Lit in part by skylights that frame the medieval tower above. Designed for two but genuinely unforgettable.
49 sqmTwo Level Junior Suite
A newer addition that develops vertically across two floors. An oxidized iron staircase leads from the lower living area — with lounge and shower bathroom — up to the sleeping mezzanine. At 38 m², it is quieter and more private than rooms facing the street, looking instead onto the inner courtyard. Perfect for guests who want genuine architectural drama on a smaller budget than the Tower suite.
38 sqmTwo Level Suite
The hotel's top suite, spread across two full levels at 40 m². Two separate bathroom areas — one with shower, one with bathtub — plus the warmth of exposed wood and historic stone throughout. Mezzanine suites are lit partly by a skylight framing the ancient tower above the hotel roof. Sleeps up to 4, making it suitable for small families or those who simply want more space.
