Kolbe Hotel Rome

A 17th-Century former Franciscan convent, this hotel is surrounded by relics of ancient Rome.
Away from Rome’s grand Baroque centre sits this charming hotel with its pretty orange- and lemon-grove gardens, which are a real rarity in the Italian capital. The hotel is surrounded by the remains of imperial Rome, and you couldn’t be better placed if you want to immerse yourself in the ancient history of the city. The hotel overlooks the ruins of the Roman Forum while the Colosseum, the chariot racing stadium Circus Maximus, Palatine Hill and Piazza Venezia are located just a short walk away. The more ‘modern’ sights can be reached by a short taxi ride or metro journey. The style of the hotel itself has a more 21st Century feel to it with exposed brick and wood panelled walls, glass doors and contemporary furnishings.

The first meal of the day is served in the light-filled breakfast room or out on the patio; the dishes are largely continental with eggs and bacon also available. The beautiful ‘Al Palatino’ Garden Restaurant Al Palatino has both indoor and outdoor spaces, the latter of which has the real ‘top’ tables. The quality of the cuisine certainly matches the beautiful setting with gourmet Italian dishes on the menu served at dinner.

The simply designed rooms provide a modern retreat amid the surrounding history and they feature wood-panelled walls, large windows which allow light to flood in, and tiled bathrooms.
