Scene
An upscale boutique hotel with an attractive garden patio and a quiet location
The Rose Palace is housed in a 19th century building, and its classic architectural design, limestone exterior, and glass awning make it resemble any upscale European banking building. It blends in well with the quiet Financial district neighborhood, which is a short walk to the tree-lined avenues of the Borghese gardens. It's common to find visitors from the U.S. enjoying the hotel's garden cafe, thanks to the location near the American Embassy.Inside, the foyer and lobby are contemporary, with sleek solid wood furniture, modern sofas, and muted tones of beige, gray and white. Leather armchairs are set in nooks overlooking the main lobby.Fine dining at the Il Roseto Restaurant can be enjoyed indoors or outside on the garden patio. Both the food and the decor is a blend of classic and modern Italian, and it is a magnet for business lunches or happy hour cocktails. Painted florals and modern sculptures add splashes of color to the garden.
Location
Business by day, chic by night
The Rose Garden Palace is in a neighborhood that is considered a part of the financial district, but it is also near to the Spanish Steps, the elegant shops on Via Condotti_, _a selection of fashionable bars, the Trevi and Tritone Fountains, baroque churches, and the masterpieces at the Borghese Gallery.There is a permanent taxi stand located outside the main entrance.- 10 minutes on foot to Barberini Metro Station
Rooms
Spacious, elegant rooms with parquet floors
Striking parquet floors set the stage for elegance in the rooms at the Rose Garden Palace. Muted tones of teal, beige, and brown carry through from the lobby design, and plush white linens create an overall sense of comfort. Size is the only significant difference between room grades, as they all come with bathrobes and slippers, spacious marble bathrooms with rainfall showerheads, and flat-screens with SKY-TV. The floor-to-ceiling drapes in biscuit and mocha colors wouldn't look out of place in a country manor or stately home. There are Standard, Deluxe or Superior Double Rooms, as well as eight suites.Upper-floor rooms (of all grades) offer sweeping city views and the eight elegant suites have separate living areas. Soundproofing provides insulation from street noise. Evening turndown service is offered.
Features

For extra relaxation, the spa has a sauna and a whirlpool.Weather permitting, breakfast can be taken in the rose garden of the Il Roseto restaurant, and for lunch and dinner -- which can also be enjoyed (outdoors) -- the menu offers seasonal Italian classics and regional specialties.Free newspapers are available in the lobby.
