This week my cousin was in Rome to visit me and I had the chance to experience staying at a hotel located at the Piazza Della Rotonda. Pictured here to the left, the hotel’s name was the Sole al Pantheon. This four-star hotel is the oldest hotel in Rome dating back to 1497; it is amazing how fantastically preserved the building is. It was a charming, small place nestled in between a gelateria and a jewelry store. Inside, there was a Mediterranean feeling given off by many green plants and cool terracotta floors. To the back of the lobby there was a gently flowing waterfall. The hotels logo, a smiling sunshine, was everywhere. It was on the staircase as well as paper products and miniature toilette-trees provided in the get rooms.
The rooms were luxurious. They had soft beds and printed fabric everywhere. It was nice to have air conditioning during the hot afternoon siesta. Also, this is definitely a great place for tourists to stay as you have views of the Pantheon (that is, if you get a front room) and within walking distance to many other touristy sites like the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. I think the Sole lived up to its four star rating because the location, accomodations, and service were great!
