Rome is an ancient city, not an old one. So are the hotels located in Rome city centre: ancient, historical, beautiful of that beauty that comes from winning the passing of time. Old is something that used to be beautiful, but it's not anymore. Rome instead is still wondrous: more chaotic, more urban, probably more complicated, but just as breathtaking as it was two thousand years ago, or in the middle age, or in the Renaissance, or in every historic period you can think of.

Rome it's changed, but only where it needed to. So if you're booking a very central located hotel in Rome for your holidays in Italy and you're worrying about sleeping in a shabby room inside a ramshackle palace, well, there's nothing to worry about. That palace in which you're going to stay is probably from the 17th or the 18th century and because of that is probably considered a piece of art to protect and take care of by the Italian State and the Municipality of Rome: this hotel has probably been restored recently, trying not to take away from it its ancient splendour.

The room on the inside will have any kind of modern comfort, including air conditioning, flat tv, cable, internet connection, private bathroom. The furniture could be of mainly two kinds: baroque, liberty or something any way classic, or more modern, maybe influenced by high design trendies. It's not unusual to have a private balcony too, overlooking unbelievable location, such as Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona.

Everything I just said refers of course only to those hotels in Rome which are located in its very core, but we think it's there you should look for an accommodation before travelling to the capital of Italy. To be inside the city centre means to be close to all the sightseeing musts, close to the main shopping and fashion streets, close to everything you're coming to Rome for, close to all those palaces that looks so charming and ancient on the outside, hiding on the inside a different charm, the one of modern life. To have your accommodation in the very heart of the Eternal city means to sleep between ancient splendour and modern appeal. Ancient and modern, just as your next hotel in Rome.
