Agent Tips

  • Ask the concierge about the hotel's private art collection. With over 1,200 original masterpieces, it's one of the world's finest collections housed within a hotel.
  • During the warmer months, reserve a poolside lunch. It is one of the best ways to experience the hotel's unique resort atmosphere without leaving Rome.
  • Book a Rome View Room and set an early alarm. Sunrise over St. Peter's Basilica is every bit as memorable as sunset, with far fewer crowds.

During the summer months, the Pool Bar serves refreshing cocktails and light seasonal dishes beside the outdoor pools, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely afternoon in the Roman sunshine. This approach keeps about eighty-five to ninety percent of the hotel's original content, while making only the edits needed to fit SmartFlyer's style: removing hotel first person, converting to American English, writing out numbers under one hundred, eliminating metric measurements, and softening promotional language without losing the property's distinctive details.
