Description:

A 4-star hotel in the historic center of Rome, was designed in 1938 by Mario Loreti, and is located on the highest of Rome's seven hills, the Esquilino. It offers its guests a magnificent panoramic view of Rome.

The hotel was initially designed to be a hotel in the grand European style and this goal has indeed been fulfilled. With 266 rooms on 10 floors, the building stands over fifty m high.

Its interior design is inspired by a monumental and understated luxury. The lobby is adorned with marble busts of Roman Emperors and mosaics portraying the departure and return of Ulysses to Ithaca, the young Telemacus, Penelope and his dog Argus. The decoration is dominated by precious woods and marble, and a sea motif occurs throughout the hotel. The beautiful Breakfast Room with its high ceilings is decorated with tritons and mermaids in carved oak, with two large chandeliers decorated with mermaids and matching lanterns;

The Hotel Mediterraneo is one of the best examples of Art Deco in Rome. Ten floors of understated classical rationalism enriched with marble and fine woodwork like the grand marble staircase with steps and landings built with solid pieces of marble suspended in air. The bar has an alabaster counter and wood panels inlaid with fine woods depicting Bacchus in the company of grape harvesters. The central lobby has a working fireplace surmounted by a wood inlay panel with Prometheus, while on the upper level in the grand lobby one of the walls boasts a painted vellum map of the Mediterranean Sea.

Its centrally located position, near the Termini Railway Station, makes for an easy walk to the main sites of Rome, such as the Trevi Fountain, the Coliseum, Imperial Forums, the Opera House, the National Museum of Rome and the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore.

Its proximity to the Termination Railway Station and the subway station enables you to move around the city easily, and the direct airport train, taking you to and from the Leonardo da Vinci Fiumicino airport, is available only a short walk away at the Termini Railway Station.

Hotel Mediterraneo offers 7 sunlit luxury suites on the 10th floor penthouse with lovely terraces and a Roof Garden Bar, all with an extraordinary panoramic view of the city, of from the dome of Saint Peter's at the Vatican to EUR and the domes of baroque Rome.

At the hotel's restaurant, exquisite dishes of Italian and international and cuisines can be savored accompanied by a selected list of vintage wines.
