Rome hotel reservations - the Hotel Diplomatic, 3 stars

Hotel Diplomatic, Rome

The Hotel Diplomatic is a delightful three-star Rome hotel, in a fabulous location in between the Piazza di Spagna, with its boat-shaped fountain, and the Vatican City. This hotel in Rome was completely refurbished in 2002 and offers 45 simply-decorated, bright rooms. Each bedroom has a minibar, safety deposit box, satellite TV and hairdryer, and there is a comfortable desk area where guests can catch up on correspondence in the privacy of their own room. On the first floor, however, a TV room and a dedicated internet access point provide additional space for working or simply congregating with friends. Breakfast is served over four hours to cater for both late and early risers, and when weather permits, guests can choose to eat outdoors in the charming patio area in the morning sunshine.

Just a few minutes from this beautiful, Umbertino building lie Rome's major tourist attractions, including the Colosseum, Pantheon and Trevi Fountain. Guests at this Rome hotel can also cross the River Tiber to the fascinating Vatican City, centre of the Catholic world and established as a sovereign state since 1929. The Vatican Museums are worthy of several days exploration in themselves, and are home to Michelangelo's magnificent Sistine Chapel ceiling. But to truly experience the culture of modern Rome, visitors should avoid simply ticking off the list of obvious tourist sights. Instead, make time to simply sit in a cafe in one of the numerous Piazzas, sipping coffee and soaking up the city's vibrant atmosphere. This Rome hotel is the perfect base for your explorations of the Eternal City.
