Art Hotel Olympic

Art Hotel Olympic is an upscale hotel at Via Verolengo 19 in the Borgo Vittoria area in the north-west of Turin, Piedmont, Italy. It lies about 2.9 km in a straight line from Piazza Castello and 3.7 km from Torino Porta Nuova station. The building has a distinctive history: it was built in 2006 as the Media Village for the Turin Winter Olympics, which gives the property a modern, purpose-built character quite different from the historic hotels in the centre. It has 147 rooms, of which 7 are listed as accessible, offered as single rooms and double rooms. Amenities include free Wi-Fi, a bar, air conditioning, a minibar, balconies in rooms and step-free access. The listing does not itemise a restaurant, spa or pool, so guests should confirm breakfast and dining arrangements directly with the hotel; the bar provides drinks on site. The area is residential and practical rather than touristic, and it is well placed for visitors who want the Juventus Stadium district, the Venaria Reale palace complex or the Stura river parklands, as well as for access to the ring road and motorway towards Milan and the Alps. The service character is that of a large modern hotel suited to groups, sports teams, business travellers and drivers who value easy parking and quick road access over a central address. The historic centre is reached by tram, bus or taxi in a short ride. Indicative rates are about 110 to 230 euros per night and vary with the calendar and events, so live prices should be checked before booking. Visitors interested in the legacy of the 2006 Olympics will find the property a tangible link to that period, and the balconies give a small outdoor space uncommon in city hotels.
