Hideaways' Review |
Hundreds of noteworthy accommodations may claim to embody heavenly qualities, but the Residenza di Ripetta has the history to back it up. Lying right around the corner from the Spanish Steps, this famed convent-turned-charming-secret-hideaway still maintains the distinguishing features of its stunning 17th-century Baroque style, including high ceilings, authentic arches, and light and airy open spaces. Add to that the magnificent frescoes dating from the 1600s that watch over the plentiful paintings and sculptures that reside within these exalted walls, and you may have something of a religious experience yourself.
What you definitely will have is easy access to all the city's cultural offerings and attractions, as the hotel is situated comfortably between the Piazza del Popolo (the "People's Square") and the lively Via del Corso, with its shops and restaurants. But for a truly memorable dining experience, look no further than The Café di Ripetta American Bar & Restaurant. Sink into a welcoming armchair for a mouthwatering multi-course meal, a simple snack, or a classic cocktail and tempting slice of tiramisu.
When you're ready to transcend the hustle and bustle of Rome, your own sublime sanctuary of peace and tranquility awaits. The hotel's 69 ultra-spacious guest rooms and suites embrace clean lines and traditional decor, while modern conveniences like LED TV and high-speed Internet keep you in touch with the 21st century (if you like). All are elegantly furnished, many feature marble baths, and some even have convenient hidden kitchenettes for late-night snacking. But the best feature of all? The sweet sound of silence. Simply divine. |
