Reimagining hospitality through the enhancement of local heritage is the essence of Hospitis Hotel, the thesis project by Khouloud Lamghari, developed during the Master in Interior Design for Hospitality at IED Roma.

Set within the historically layered Rione Terra in Pozzuoli, the project explores the potential of hotels as cultural and social hubs, transforming the site into a meeting point between guests, artisans, and the local community. The hotel becomes a bridge between architecture, tradition, and innovation, where past and present merge into a cohesive narrative.

The Rhizomatic Flow concept shapes the hotel’s design, conceived as an evolving organism where spaces are interconnected in a fluid, non-hierarchical manner. Inspired by the veins of Neapolitan artisans' hands, the spatial composition embodies creativity and continuity. Each space invites guests to leave their mark, making them active contributors to the hotel's ever-evolving story.

Through this project, the student has refined the skills acquired throughout the Master, mastering interior design, spatial storytelling, and visual communication.
