Scene
Uber-modern upper-middle-range hotel with a rooftop hot tub
The early-20th-century Venetia Palace Hotel blends in with the other buildings in the area surrounding Termini Station. This six-floor hotel has two elevators and was renovated by well-known Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas. A transparent and illuminated staircase leads to the reception area, where cloud-shaped art sculptures hang over the front desk. Furnishings include modern gray and white furniture under white vaulted ceilings and there are free newspapers for guests. Guests are a mix of tourists and business travelers.

Contemporary, minimalist rooms with minibars and flat-screen TVs, some with balconies
The hotel’s 77 rooms have a heavily white modern design that creates an airy vibe, though it might be too minimalist for some.

Some rooms have furnished balconies, while Junior Suites have sitting areas and occasionally whirlpool tubs in sectioned-off platforms behind the beds. Bathrooms across the board are contemporary, with glass basins, bidets, walk-in showers or shower/tub combos, and a full range of toiletries.

Rooftop hot tub, spa facilities, free breakfast, a bar, and guests services

Massages are also available on request. An American-style breakfast with gluten-free options is included in room rates, and is served in a bright dining hall with an adjacent furnished wooden terrace.
