This hotel is one of two Double Tree properties built within Turin’s famous former car factory. This is the smaller and less luxurious of the two, with 140 contemporary guest rooms, and although the facilities are comparable, the rooms here are slightly smaller and not as stylish. There’s a restaurant, bar, and two fitness centers to choose from. The property has plenty of style and flair, but the glass and metal decor may not be to everyone’s taste. The on-site business facilities and access to the Lingotto Conference Center make it ideal for business travelers. Tourists may prefer something nearer the city center and with more classic Italian charm.

Eataly is just a five-minute walk, and there’s a huge range of eateries to sample there, as well as a grocery store and market. For shopping and entertainment, there is
direct access from the hotel to a large, modern mall and cinema complex, as well as the Lingotto Conference Center. It’s a 10-minute walk to the Automobile Museum. To drive from Turin Airport will

Features
Excellent fitness and business facilities, and quirky extras
One of the most special features of this hotel is the chance for guests to take a glimpse at its former life -- as everyone staying here has free access to the old car testing track up on the rooftop. It’s a unique space to take a walk or a jog. Also included in the stay is a free visit to the private art collection of Fiat founder Giovanni Agnelli. Fitness lovers are well catered for as there’s not one, but two places
to work out. The hotel itself has a modern gymnasium, and there’s free access to the one next door, which has an even wider range of equipment. A large, free, car park is available to guests, as is 24-hour room service, and free Wi-Fi in all the public areas. There’s a smart restaurant serving modern Italian food, although it is only open for dinner four nights a week. The bar has a good cocktail menu and wine list. It serves light meals like salads and sandwiches. For business guests, there are four smart meeting rooms, and a conference room that can seat up to 300 people. It’s a high-tech space with all the latest audio visual equipment.
