Maalot Roma

The ‘old soul, new spirit’ description could well have been coined for Maalot Roma. The former residence of opera maestro Gaetano Donizetti has been reimagined as a boutique hotel with a glamorous restaurant, spoiling bedrooms, fitness zone and one of the most enviable locations in town. Seize the day – stay the night. 

There are hints of the building’s heritage in the individually styled bedrooms, but the décor is firmly of the here and now. They feature bespoke Italian-made furnishings, pearly Calagatta Arabescato marble bathrooms and a smattering of deco-style prints. Downstairs you’ll find the urban restaurant, set beneath a glass ceiling, where colourful fabrics of different patterns create a culinary oasis.

Pop a Euro in your pocket before you venture out from Maalot Roma. You’re just a stroll from the Trevi Fountain, not to mention Rome’s big hitters: the Pantheon, the Forum and Spanish Steps. For a little breathing space, Giardini del Quirinale is close by too. And for Roman retail therapy, luxury boutiques seem to line almost every Via in this part of the city. Returning to Maalot Roma each evening feels a little like coming home.
