General Description: Created as a natural completion of a prestigious hotel, the Albornoz Congress Center is expressly designed to offer the most extraordinary congressional space in Umbria. Efficent and wel-equipped, this facility provides the best surroundings for both large and small meetings, to satisfy the most exacting requirements, with a complete range of service as well as the most modern and advanced equipment. After a tiring day of congressual work, instead of having to face up the noise and chaos of the most modern cities, one finds oneself in an unspoiled mediaval town, where the pace of life is still human. The passage of the time makes it difficult to recall which came first, the idea of creating a hotel offering a wide range of services, such as the Albornoz Palace Hotel, or, at a less conscious level, the creation of a place in which visitors to the city would find a living testimony of the importance of Spoleto, a city which has made a name for itself, both at national and international level, in the field of contemporary arts.From the very beginning, however, the essential idea was to create a space in which it was pleasant to stay, to offer something different, something more than just a large hotel with all the usual conference facilities. We felt that this was an opportunity to exhibit the family picture collection, as well as chance to invite selected artists to leave their imprint on the building. We wanted to highlight the architectural space in which these works were shown, the concept being to define and enrich the atmosphere with artistic treasures.The adventure began in the hall with a large-scale project by Sol Le Witt, an artist whose decision to spend some months of every year in Italy, and in particular, in Spoleto, demonstrates his love for this city. Feelings of reciprocal esteem marked this first venture and encouraged us to expand the project and follow the same path in the company of other artists of various artistic tendencies who declared themselves excited at the prospect of such a challenge. They all responded to the notion of creating something in Umbria which would become a point of reference for all those people who appreciate the language of the contemporary arts.The experience was fruitful and brought us into contact not only with the artists themselves, but also with critics and connoisseurs who honour us with their kind regards and their company. 60 Km from Airport - Perugia SantEgidioBy car from Florence - Motorway A1 southbound - exit Valdichiana - Highway to Perugia, Assisi, Foligno - exit Highway to Foligno-Roma, 2 exit for Spoleto Sud. 100 meter after the exit on you left you find Albornoz Palace HotelBy car from Rome - Motorway A1 northbound - exit Orte - Highway to Terni - 1 exit for Spoleto Sud. 100 meter after the exit on you left you find Albornoz Palace Hotel.
