On a street lined with 16th century palazzos, the neoclassical
Hotel Barberini is set in a restored 19th century building with
refined marble interiors, located at the foot of the Quirinal
Hill. In the historical centre of Rome, the hotel is one
kilometre from the Pantheon and 500 metres from the Trevi
Fountain. The 35 soundproofed guestrooms are accessible by lift
and feature cherry wood furniture, marble-topped desks, blue
velvet curtain canopies, full length mirrored wardrobes and
ceiling candelabras. Some rooms overlook classical Palazzo
Barberini. Bathrooms have Travertino marble floors, bathroom
telephones and heated towel rails. Modern amenities include
direct dial telephones, air conditioning, cable television with
premium channels and minibars.
Buffet breakfast is served every day in the breakfast room on
the lower ground floor, where guests can also browse the
complimentary newspapers. The lobby is divided into a bar and
lounge area, serving drinks and coffee until late. The hotel also
boasts an eighth floor rooftop terrace where guests can enjoy
drinks in the evening. The terracotta floored patio has ornate
silver balustrades, trellises a mosaic fountain and views over
the historic centre towards the Palazzo Barberini and St Peter's.
There is a private internet terminal off the lobby which offers
complimentary high speed access. The concierge can book tickets
to shows and events, make restaurant reservations and offer tour
advice, and multilingual staff at the 24 hour front desk can
exchange currency. Well located for the attractions of the
Eternal City, guests can hit the shops of Via Condotti, throw a
coin into the Trevi Fountain or admire the view from the Spanish
Steps, all 500 metres away, while the monumental Coliseum is
three kilometres from the hotel. Termini station is two
kilometres from the hotel and Rome Fiumicino Airport is 30
