Hotel Splendide Royal in Rome, Italy won’t be named “Splendide” for nothing. In fact, it is a five star hotel that boasts of fine services and top of the line amenities. If you’re in for a little history, prior to the hotel’s existence is a 19th century monastery, so the architecture looks pretty much the same but the management added some frills to make it look like a hotel from the renaissance period. Four of their rooms have spacious terraces which allow you to view Villa Borghese, a very lavish park, at night (with all the lovely lights). Plus, the welcoming atmosphere of the personnel and the excellent cuisine served in Mirabelle Restaurant (included in the Michelin Red Guide), would make you want to go back.

More former guests commented on the rooms and location as well:

“The hotel is truly a grand dame of a hotel – plush and beautifully decorated in the Belle Epoque style – lots of red velvet and midnight blue wallpaper – but all very tasteful. And – gorgeous chystal chandeliers!!!!!!!!! Like stepping back in time to the heyday of old Vienna.”
