After more than one year of skilled re-structuring, this 19th century palace - once headquarters of the Roman Maronite community and only a stroll away from the famed Via Veneto - is today a luxury hotel and, in its own way, a symbol of the changes taking place within the Capital City's fine tradition of hospitality.

Recently baptized as Splendide by guests themselves, the hotel is "toutcourt", full of that warmth and kindness found usually only among friends. Guests appreciate the richness in style and the spacious architecture - in distinct contrast with the typical present-day minimalism governing most new hotels' interior decor and design.

The rooms are characterised by the luxury and spaciousness reminiscent of the elegant boudoirs of the aristocracy, featuring sumptuous Baroque style decors and nuances; boiseries, fine draperies and antique furniture all creating an exclusive yet warmly welcoming atmosphere. Nearly all of the rooms have large marble bathrooms with precious natural light source and have large terraces with sweeping views over the city and the gardens of Villa Borghese. Hotel Splendide Royal Rome is a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
