Hotel d'Inghilterra Rome — Rome, Italy


The Hotel d'Inghilterra Rome has its origins in the most aristocratic and elegant period in Rome's history. Monarchs, princes, artists and screen idols have made it their home in the capital, attracted by flawless hospitality and an ideal location near Piazza di Spagna.

The original building dates back to the 16th century, when it was built to serve as guest quarters for the nearby palazzo of the illustrious Torlonia family. Visiting friends and compatriots of the poet John Keats, who lived in Piazza di Spagna, stayed there, and when the building became a hotel in 1845 it took the name Hotel d'Angleterre. Since that time the hotel has built a reputation as the preferred Roman base for an elite international clientele.

A favourite meeting place for Roman insiders, Cafe Romano is ideal for a light lunch, an elegant snack, or an exquisite tour through a world of delectation and high gastronomy. The restaurant is open every day without interruption from ten in the morning to past midnight, and customers can choose a table out of doors or in Cafe Romano's elegant interior, among 19th century paintings and modern objets d'art.
