Master at work

As he creates his work, our hotel becomes Andrea’s studio, where you may spot him behind a sketchbook capturing the warm gestures of our doormen, or perhaps the seamless service of our waiters at the restaurant. For Andrea, expressions and personalities create a unique narrative of life at the hotel, and all are beautifully revealed through his observational sketches.

The art of expression

Ferolla is celebrated for his expressive, timelessly romantic paintings and sketches. His distinctive style is defined by quick and sophisticated strokes, which underline the gestures, figures and attitude of the subjects he portrays. We can’t wait to see what he creates at our hotel.

When Art meets Fashion

Andrea took inspiration from the colours and landscapes of Rome to create a limited edition Chez Dede bag, as part of an exclusive collaboration with Hotel Eden. This signature yellow edition features Andrea’s illustrations on beautifully crafted Italian leather and cotton.

    Hotel Eden is a place of countless stories from thousands of travellers and passing guests. Through my illustrations I hope to capture the unique gestures and figures which bring the hotel to life.
