Lingotto Factory, Turin

DaithaiC : "If you want some real swank try the “hotel” with a racetrack on the roof as featured in the “Italian Job” – The historic FIAT works with the 1 km test track is now the Meridien Lingotto, a showpiece conversion by the architect Renzo Piano which also features a conference centre and the Agnelli Art Collection in a superb “pod” on the roof, and all surprisingly inexpensive thru the weekend deal on the Turismo Torino website."
