The Roma hotel is situated in the beautiful square of S. Maria Novella and is within walking distance of the historically important monuments. This first class traditional 5-story hotel is set in a building that dates back to 1790. The public areas have been redecorated in a very tasteful Florentine style with stained lead-glass windows, ornate ceilings and cornices and an abundance of natural wood as well as beautiful marble floors. The hotel re-opened in 1988 after extensive renovations. All of the guest rooms are sound proofed and have modern amenities including colour television, a direct dial phone and radio. The hotel has a bar, restaurant (breakfast only), room service and safe deposit boxes.
