One of the most prestigious accommodation facilities in Bergamo, the Excelsior San Marco is a landmark four-star hotel, located in the central Piazza della Repubblica, in the heart of the city, just a few steps from the funicular that provides access to the iconic “Città Alta” and with the renowned Roof Garden Restaurant on the eighth floor overlooking the city.
In 2024, the hotel has initiated an important process of renewing and restyling, activating a collaboration with Concreta, the interior contractor specialized of reception spaces. The first batch of Concreta works involved a first wing of the hotel, an area comprising 73 rooms spread over seven floors, as well as the corridors and staircases of the wing itself.

The restructuration project, ambitious and articulated in different steps with the objective to keep pace with the modern trends valorizing the elegance and the historicity was thought by the client with the aim of combining contemporaneity and functionality while maintaining the historicity that distinguishes the structure and for which it was awarded in November 2024 by the Lombardy Region with the Recognition Struttura Ricettiva Storica e di Qualità, an important certificate of excellence that underlines the hotel's commitment to preserve its historical identity without sacrificing the quality of the services offered.
The hotel is owned by the Radici family since the nineties, one of the most established and renowned family in the Bergamo panorama, led by Beniamino Tomasoni, the General manager and prosecutor of the Hotel Excelsior San Marco srl company, who is also a member of directive council of Federalberghi Lombardia and the president of Space Hotel since 2024.
The Excelsior San Marco learned how to conquer an international clientele which represents 70% of tourists from all around the world while the remaining 30% is constituted of Italian guests staying for business reasons. Thanks to its privileged position, the quality of services and the elegance of its spaces, the hotel became a reference to whom visits Bergamo, for pleasure or professional reasons.

The rooms
Concreta's restructuration of the rooms mainly involved the standard rooms, the hotel's most historic rooms, many of which boast spectacular views of the famous Upper Town. Concreta took care of the complete supply to create a fresh and cosy space, which managed to preserve the linear and traditional style while integrating modern functionalities without compromising the historicity of the context.
The main interventions included the choice of stoneware flooring for the bedrooms and bathroom area, together with wall coverings, where wallpapers were applied to enhance each room.
From the furniture to the choice of partners for the total project, Concreta carefully selected and positioned each element to ensure harmony and functionality, tailoring the room elements such as wardrobes, bedside tables and desks. The closets are characterized by a melamine wood interior shell, with a lacquered MDF exterior, enriched by mirrors on the doors, which contribute to a feeling of greater brightness and space. The desk, on the other hand, combines elegance and modernity, with a bronze-colored wood and metal frame and a black glass top.

In the bathroom area, the furniture is also made to measure in wood, with an elegant ceramic washbasin top. The shower cubicle, made entirely of glass, reveals the choice of ceramic tiles in shades of blue, creating a refined visual effect.
Blue, in all its shades, is the recurring color from the second to the seventh floor. A chromatic continuity picked up on the doors, ceramics, wallpaper, wardrobes and the floral carpet in the corridor, as well as the connecting staircase, which are characterized by shades ranging from blue to light blue, creating a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere.
The first floor, on the other hand, features a lighter color scheme in shades of white and beige, with larger rooms and an outdoor terrace. This floor represents a more inclusive and spacious proposal, designed to ensure maximum comfort for all guests.
The project was realized by Concreta with the interior contractor working from March until October 2024. This intervention marks only the first step of a broader renovation, which envisages a further batch of refurbishments to restore freshness and functionality to a hospitality structure of reference in the Bergamo area.
