Next to the Piazza del Popolo and the Villa Borghese, in the heart of Rome, the 78-room Hotel Valadier is a lovely, classic-meets-modern stay aimed at tourists and business travelers alike. Higher-tier rooms are more up-to-date than others, but all evoke a Baroque elegance in their style; all have amenities such as free Wi-Fi and small flat-screen TVs, as well as marble bathrooms with walk-in rainfall showers. Some rooms have jetted tubs and balconies overlooking the city, but others are small and have a musty odor. There's an extensive free breakfast, and the hotel is home to three restaurants -- one with a rooftop terrace -- and a piano bar. In addition to several conference rooms, there's a business center and free Wi-Fi.

Scene
This boutique hotel with a nautical style caters to both tourists and business travelers.
In a renovated 17th-century townhouse in the heart of Rome, the Hotel Valadier has an eccentric, cruise ship-inspired style and welcoming atmosphere. A large chandelier hangs in the entrance, where dresses
and marble statues are on display. The small lobby is rather dark, decorated with black leather
chairs, modern artwork that evokes classical themes, marble tile floors, potted plants, and even a disco ball; coffee and tea are
available at all hours. The cozy lobby piano bar feels very old-world, with dark wood paneling, green marble floors, a green marble bar, and black leather chairs. Up at the rooftop restaurant, HI-RES, panoramic views of Rome
are paired with frosted glass tables, a metal roof, white couches, and potted plants. The HI-RES bar has a stainless steel countertop and tall white bar chairs. This lounge area doubles as the breakfast area and has
wood floors and brown couches. Although the restaurants are stylish and bright,
most of the common areas have no natural light and are dimly lit.
Location
Prime central location close to the Piazza del Popolo and Villa Borghese, and within walking distance of many sights
The Hotel Valadier is located on a cobbled street in the Campo Marzio neighborhood in the heart of Rome. The Villa Borghese, Piazza
del Popolo, Santa Maria del Popolo, Pincio Terrace, and Altar of Peace (Ara
Pacis) are all within a stone's throw of the hotel, and other major sights like the Pantheon, Piazza di Spagna, Spanish Steps,
and Trevi Fountain are only marginally farther. Upscale shops, restaurants, and public transportation
are all within walking distance. Both the Leonardo da Vinci International
Airport and Ciampino Airport are a 30-minute drive away.
Rooms
Individually styled rooms have wood features and marble bathrooms; some come with balconies with city views.
Rooms at the Hotel Valadier range in size and style, some feeling more modern and recently updated than others. Some have wood-paneled ceilings and vintage furniture, while others have contemporary furnishings. All are done in earth tones, leaning heavily on blues and tans. However, some are more clean-lined and modern, with hardwood floors, while others have retro, patterned wallpaper and tiled floors. Suites come with extra space and seating, in the form of Chesterfield-style sofas, and some rooms have private balconies overlooking the city. Each room comes with a minibar, air-conditioning, and a flat-screen TV with a free
Mediaset Premium package. Suites also have bathrobes and slippers, as well as tea and coffee facilities. All bathrooms are rather modern, done completely in marble, with walk-in rainfall showers and signature toiletries; most only have showers, but suites also have jetted tubs. It's worth noting that some rooms have a musty odor while others lack
ample space.
