Hotel Mediterraneo Rome

Hotel Mediterraneo, a 4-star hotel in the historic center of Rome, was designed in 1938 by Mario Loreti, and is located on the highest of Rome`s seven hills, the Esquilino. It offers its guests a magnificent panoramic view of Rome.

The hotel was designed to be a hotel in the grand European style and this goal has indeed been reached. With 251 rooms on 10 floors, the building stands over fifty m high.
Its interior design is inspired by a monumental and understated luxury. The lobby is adorned with marble busts of Roman Emperors and mosaics portraying the departure and return of Ulysses to Ithaca, the young Telemacus, Penelope and his dog Argus. The decoration is accented by precious woods and marbles, and a sea motif occurs throughout the hotel. The beautiful Breakfast Room with its high ceilings is decorated with tritons and mermaids in carved oak, with two large chandeliers decorated with mermaids and matching lanterns.
