In the very heart of Rome, just nearby the vibrant Piazza Navona, is a world-wide celebrated Hotel, well-known for its astonishing ivied façade and its sumptuous charm combined with a modern architectural interior style.
Its central location and its welcoming atmosphere let you enjoy the picturesque labyrinth of narrow twisting streets of the historic city centre, embroidered with antique shops while the artistic centre and the most famous and fashionable shopping streets are just round the corner.
The Hotel Raphael is the perfect place to stay and fall under Rome's spell: its famous historical highlights like St. Peter's Church, Castel Sant'Angelo, the Pantheon, Campo de' Fiori, the Spanish Steps, the Synagogue and Piazza Navona are at hand.
"Created" and started up in 1963 by Spartaco Vannoni (1922-1980), the Hotel Raphael is a real museum of art: paintings, litographs, sculptures, antiquarian artefacts and a valuable collection of Picasso ceramics and Mayan art may be seen throughout the lobby.
The third floor of the Hotel meets the brilliance of Richard Meier, one of the most appreciated architects in the world. All rooms are made of oak and elegantly furnished, equipped with air-conditioning, BOSE Digital Sound System, CD and DVD, Sky Entertainment TV, free ADSL and WIFI on request. All the bathrooms, with a private double shower each, are made of fine Carrara statuary marble.
