Situated in the Via Veneto district across from Villa Borghese park, is the opulent Splendide Royal Hotel. Elaborately decorated in ornate Baroque style, there are sparkling marble floors, Murano chandeliers, and gilt mirrors. The hotel offers a unique experience where old-world elegance meets modern technology. One can expect first class service and an exclusive yet warm atmosphere.
Many of the accommodations were recently renovated and are quite spacious. There’s elegant furniture, crisp white bedding, and some of the rooms feature fantastic views of Villa Borghese from private balconies. A highlight were the white marble bathrooms with heated bathroom floors and luxurious Acqua di Parma products.
Each morning, I looked forward to breakfast at the Crystal Lounge located on the sixth floor. Each table was adorned with a white tablecloth and I enjoyed taking in beautiful views of Rome from above with a cappuccino in hand. Breakfast is buffet style and includes a varied spread of meats, cheeses, pastries, yogurt, and fruit.
At aperitivo hour head to the rooftop Adèle Mixology Lounge bar. If you get hungry, dine at The Mirabelle restaurant onsite serving modern Mediterranean cuisine with sweeping city views.
Splendide Royal is the perfect place to base yourself as it’s walking distance from all major points of interest in Rome. Also, it’s ideal for business travelers since there’s an elegant conference room for private meetings and good wi-fi.
I very much enjoyed my stay at Splendide Royal and look forward to experiencing more of Roberto Naldi Collection’s properties across Europe.
