At the Gran Meliá Rome Villa Agrippina, the categories of rooms and suites, 115 in total, are thirteen, ranging from the “simple” Deluxe to the exclusive Emperor Penthouse and

Wellness Master Suite, with private Spa. At the time of booking, you must choose: view of Castel Sant’Angelo, Vicolo Sant’Onofrio and San Pietro, or direct access to the garden and the swimming pool? In both cases, we are in an unexpected context for a stay in the heart of Rome, with an oasis of 7,500 square meters of greenery available to guests: on the Gala

PoolBar&Restaurant, breakfast or an aperitif smells of orange blossom, among plants of lemons and oranges that blend with the profile of the “Dome” and the remains of what once was Villa Agrippina, the residence of Emperor Nero's mother. Inside, innumerabl­e references

“An urban resort, Leading Hotels of the World, housed in an ancient residence surrounded by monuments from the past and a garden with a swimming pool. It boasts rooms with a spectacula­r view. This is Villa Agrippina" Andrea Fiorentini, General Manager

to masterpiec­es of the past are inspired by the originals preserved in the nearby museums of Villa Borghese and Palazzo Altemps. Thus, a detail of a canvas by a Renaissanc­e master becomes the large-format protagonis­t of an environmen­t, along side pieces of contempora­ry design, in a mélange that is anything but taken for granted. The art of good food and hospitalit­y can be found in 5 restaurant­s and bars, including the Amaro

Cocktail Bar & Lounge, open until 1 am, and the Ossimoro, a gastronomi­c bistro designed for anyone who wants to enjoy an unforgetta­ble fine dining experience. A bit like the moments of relaxation in which you can immerse yourself in the

Spa My Blend by Clarins, thanks to the famous “touch by Clarins”, the 100% manual method based on active plant extracts and exclusive formulas of the soins of the French maison. Four cabins, plus a sauna, a Turkish bath, sensory showers and a vitality pool. And for those who want even more, there is the GranMeliáR­e

dLevel, a service reserved for those who want an upgrade at all levels, from the VIP check-in to the pillow menu, from the reserved lounge to the open bar, from the priority list for Spa reservatio­ns up to butler on request.
