Hotel Nazionale

The hotel is in a large, historical building with a strong presence along the street. Directly outside the entrance there’s a small area where guests can sit, with hedges offering some privacy. The sliding glass doors at the entrance lead to the reception area, which has a wooden front desk with ornate carvings, a crystal chandelier, Persian rugs atop the white marble floor, and green marble columns and walls, thus creating an opulent ambiance. The rest of the front lobby amplifies the venue's elegant, classic style, with blue floral carpeting, upholstered red chairs, gold sconces, and white marble columns and walls. The lobby also has a corner-area computer and large flat-screen TV.

The Nazionale is ideally located in the city center, within walking distance to many monuments and main attractions and right next to the Chamber of Deputies, so there’s a constant presence of police and security. The Piazza di Montecitorio and Palazzo Montecitorio are just outside of the hotel, as is Marcus Aurelius Column. Approximate traveling times to an assortment of other locales include:

• Four-minute walk to Piazza del Parlamento
• Four-minute walk to Piazza Colonna

The hotel offers a variety of room categories -- Classic, Executive, Deluxe, and finally, the Bougainvillea Suite. The Classic and Executive units are relatively generic looking and more contemporary than the rest of the hotel, offering furnishings with deep red accents. These rooms also have desks, flat-screen TVs, safes, closets, mini-fridges, and coffee and tea. The bathrooms are small but modern, with black mosaic tiling, modern appliances, bidets, and tiled showers with glass doors.

Also outfitted with items from more standard spaces, the Deluxe rooms are much larger and more opulent, with gorgeous high coffered wood ceilings, antique wooden furniture, patterned carpeting, floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the Chamber of Deputies, and sitting areas with upholstered couches and chairs. The bathrooms are large and modern with sleek tubs, his and hers sinks, and tiled showers with glass doors.

The Nazionale also has the luxurious, contemporarily-styled Bougainvillea Suite, which has multiple floors, two bedrooms, and a private balcony overlooking Parliament. The suite also comes with a free fresh fruit basket, Prosecco wine, tea, coffee, and tisanes.

The property has a breakfast room that’s much more contemporary than the rest of the hotel, with sleek tables, colored marble flooring, and modern art. A large, free breakfast buffet is served there that includes meats, cheeses, fruits, and cappuccino. Drinks can be had at the Bar Donatello, a beautiful room with decor that reflects the front lobby, including an ornate bar with gold detailing, a classical Roman statue, and beautiful ceiling paintings. The hotel has three conference halls which can seat 30 to 120 people.
