Ivy-clad 16th-century Roman classic
The Hotel Manfredi is situated on a quiet, narrow street close to the Spanish Steps. Moments from the Piazza di Spagna, in the Via Margutta area of the old town, the hotel is conveniently close to the Piazza del Popolo and right next to the Trinita dei Monti.
The charming Hotel Manfredi occupies a former 16th century residence, on the quiet Via Margutta in the heart of the old town. After a period as a theatre, the building was transformed into a luxury hotel in 1949. The public areas of the hotel are comfortable and welcoming, from the moment you step through the ivy-covered doorway. One of the most beautiful original features of this boutique hotel is the spiral staircase, made out of antique peperino, a type of lava rock typically found in Lazio. It twists around the shaft of the equally ancient wood and glass lift which certainly belongs to a former era.
All the rooms and suites are beautifully appointed in classic style, offsetting the luxurious rich fabrics with light pastel colours. Rich satins and stripey wallpaper give the spacious rooms an air of gentility and nostalgic charm, whilst incorporating all the latest in WiFi technology and satellite TV. The Junior suites offer spacious, comfortable rooms with a hydro-massage bathtub for complete relaxation after a long day’s walking. The rooms include hypoallergenic carpets, armchairs, soundproofing and every comfort to ensure a delightful stay in this luxury boutique hotel.
The excellent breakfast is served in the historic dining room, which has original black and white marble flooring, a cherry wood bar with beautiful betulla wood inlays and damask fabrics lining the walls. The hot and cold buffet caters to international tastes and sets guests up for a day’s sightseeing. Returning in the evening, the small lounge bar welcomes guests home with a relaxing aperitif or a glass of Italian wine.
This refined boutique hotel is one of the best-value hotels in Rome as it offers free accommodation to younger children. It is well-located and has an excellent standard of furnishing, along with superb service.
