Rome hotels - the Hotel Art, by the Spanish Steps, Rome

Hotel Art by Spanish Steps, Rome

For those seeking an hotel in Rome with real individuality and personality, the Hotel Art by the Spanish Steps is an exciting choice. This Italian boutique hotel is reached via a minimalist cobbled passageway off the Via Margutta in the heart of Rome. Very modern, very trendy, very different, the Hotel Art is a real experience.

The long pedestrian corridor, with walls of gleaming white marble and white cobbles underfoot, was created by artist Enzo Catellani. It leads into the hotel lobby, once the college hall but now transformed into a stylish reception area. This is a magnificent, bright space, with white columns soaring up to cobalt-blue vaulted ceilings. The Crystal Bar is located in an old chapel and retains many original features. And the fitness area has a sauna, steam bath and fully equipped gym. You descend glass stairs to the open-air courtyard, then up to your room - each floor colour keyed with coordinating corridors and rooms.

The hi-tech furnishings and bright colours stop at the door of each room, making way for wood and leather, with floors of parquet, and the headboards a hand-stitched patchwork of Florentine hide. The rooms have the most sophisticated facilities including a cordless keyboard for web surfing and satellite TV. Glass, metal and mosaic tiles pick up the colours of the corridor, while the bathrooms have a warm and comfortable bathrobe and bath set including body creams, bath foam, and subtly scented shampoo and balms.

This hotel in Rome has all the services you would expect of a four-star hotel in Italy, with 24-hour front desk, concierge and porterage services, currency exchange, travel reservations and much more.
