17th Century Former Convent in the heart of Rome
Jewel Hotel in the 17th Century convent
A architectural jewel in the heart of Rome, a hotel located in a seventeenth century convent. Designed by Francesco Borromini (1599-1667) lies at the foot of the Gianicolo Hill, amidst the roman neighbourhood of Trastevere. The unmistakable style of Borromini with his skillful use of flat, concave and convex surfaces welcomes guests on arrival.
Following a remarkable renovation which respected the typical architectural rules of the Baroque period and the original project by Borromini, the convent was turned into a stunning hotel.
The cloister gives the impression of travelling backwards in time. In the middle of garden, there is a baroque fountain surrounded by a beautiful garden. A beautiful location for weddings and special events or simply for unforgettable moments.
The ancient refectory, now called Sala Borromini, is embellished by Renaissance paintings, eighteenth-century woodwork and by a panelled ceiling. An eighteenth-century wonderful fountain, ascribed to the famous architect Francesco Borromini, lies at the entrance of the room.
With its refined atmophere, it is the perfect location for banquets.
The rooms obtained by the cells once used by the nuns, reveal all their ancient beauty and with their decorative ceiling beams and antique furniture. They represent a synthesis between the Antique and the Modern, where attention to detail and elegance are blended together.
