“This grand hotel enjoys the best of both worlds – it’s in a fairly tranquil spot but is also close to star sights like Piazza del Popolo and St Peter’s.”
As the name suggests, this hotel is set just back from the River Tiber, along the snaking Via Flaminia. What’s nice about it is that it’s in a quiet spot that’s still close to the action - not far away you’ve got Piazza del Popolo, the Spanish Steps and the Flaminio Metro is literally a minute or two’s stroll. What’s more, you can walk to the Vatican in about 10 minutes.

The hotel itself is quite a grand affair. The lobby is a cross between an old gentlemen’s club and the Queen Mary – think wood panelling, marble floors and parlour palms. The lounge bar, meanwhile, features portraits and stately-looking busts – the perfect backdrop for an after-dinner liqueur.

The plush look and feel continues in the bedrooms. Elegant touches like writing desks and gathered drapes work well with the gold and ochre colour scheme. Some of the rooms even have frescoed ceilings. All of them offer up air-conditioning, satellite TVs and minibars. The bathrooms have a classical air about them tool, with marble basins and gilt-framed mirrors.

Finally, because the hotel has only 59 rooms, the service here is great. The concierge desk can arrange all sorts of things for you - restaurant reservations, massages,

Your guide to Rome, Italian Cities

"All roads lead to Rome, it is said, and when you arrive you’ll understand why."

It’s perhaps the oldest in Europe and was, of course, the epicentre of one of the most influential empires the world has ever seen - Rome provides a living record of the history of civilisation over the past 3000 years. That ancient playground the Colosseum, for example. A fantastic piece of engineering – it is thought is once had a retractable sunshade spanning most of the arena - and an architectural masterpiece. And the Baroque-style Spanish Steps lead to a playground of a different type - Via Condotti, the home to the world’s leading fashion houses. From Gucci and Armani to Dolce and Gabbana, all the biggest names in cutting edge and classical fashion are here. So don’t forget to bring your credit card cos it’s time to exorcise your shopping demons. Shopping aside, the Eternal City continues to delight with echoes from the past. The high art of the Renaissance is everywhere, grand Baroque palaces and piazzas abound, the vastness of the Pantheon alone could hold you spellbound for days. There is even a City within this City. The Vatican is, of course, the hub of the massive Roman Catholic empire, but it is also a treasure house of must-see sights. The Sistine Chapel, to name but one, with its ceiling painted by Michelangelo. St Peter’s Basilica to mention another, and the Vatican Museum containing more major pieces than perhaps any other single place in the world. If you appreciate the finest art and even better shopping, make sure your road leads you to Rome.
