Press Quotes
"The spa, filled with comely masseuses and sweating businessmen, is heaven. The ground-floor bars, lobby and library are an impressively crimson recreation of hell. The rooms, decked in crisp whites and blues, are heaven." Independent 06

"Polished and preened, this stylish boutique hotel near Piazza Barberini draws in a glamorous, fashion-forward crowd."
Small rooms and variable service reported, but for style groupies the vibrant red theme and creative design will please.
Hotel Boscolo Aleph
By Jamie Dunford Wood
This 2003 design hotel, formerly a bank, feels rather like a space age brothel, or the place to come to explain yourself to a higher being - dim red lighting, vast chinese-style warriors like Cerberus’s guarding the entrance to hell, with staff black-clad and padding silently about. It is all quite deliberate too - Aleph is ’Alpha’ according to the hotel blurb, while the themed decor of the hotel follows the journey of Dante (sort-of) from hell (the Chinese warriors and the red ground floor) to purgatory (the 6th floor restaurant) and finally paradise - yes, you’ve guessed it, the spa. As for the 96 rooms, they are somewhere in between - kitted out with ebony wood, black marble floors, red lights and glass, and large black and white images on the wood effect walls. A top floor suite has a deck and outside jacuqi - heaven or hell? - though with no particular views, as with the large decked roof terrace open to all. The hotel also offers ’a reading-room with no books, yet capable of offering you the pages of your favourite writers virtually, enwrapped in the sweetness of the sound of silence.’ Mmm...
