Description |
Housed in a six storey 17th century building overlooking a cobbled piazza, this hotel is two blocks from the Pantheon and 500 metres from Piazza Navona and Piazza Venezia. The 135 air conditioned guestrooms are decorated with a mix of modern and antique furnishings. All are equipped with cable television, Internet connections, minibars, coffee makers, safes, slippers, and complimentary newspapers. Marble bathrooms include combination tubs/showers, bathrobes, and phones.
This ochre coloured Renaissance building was originally constructed in 1620 as an aristocratic residence, and has been a hotel intermittently since the 1800s. During the 19th century, it was particularly popular with French, German, and British artists and intellectuals on the Grand Tour. A uniformed door attendant greets guests as they enter the lobby, which extends into a lounge with a stained glass roof and a piano. La Cesta is a fine dining restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, characterised by polished wooden floors, chandeliers and silver ice buckets. Guests visiting on business can make use of four ground floor conference rooms, the largest of which doubles as a ballroom and can accommodate up to 120 people. Large scale catering can be arranged, and business services are available at reception. Fitness enthusiasts can work out in the hotel's health club. The multilingual concierge and 24 hour front desk staff are on hand to offer round the clock room service, exchange currency, and advise on local sights and attractions. Guests interested in history will find the Pantheon two blocks from the hotel, the ancient ruins of the Forum within one kilometre, and the Coliseum two kilometres away. Fiumicino Airport is 30 kilometres away, with an approximate driving time of 45 minutes.
