I visited this hotel for the first time more than 20 years ago (was attending conference at that time) and since then did fall in love with Rome Cavalieri, so did stay several times when I was Rome including several big meetings we organized there. Thus, no wonders that this time when we finally decided to have family break and bring our children with us to Rome we didn’t think long to choose place to stay, choice was evident 😊. As I already wrote in my previous review of the property several years ago, being quite ordinary 50'-60s building outside, hotels is real gem inside – holding one of the biggest collections of art among hotels in the World (all hotel pieces of art are being purchased at well-known auctions like Sotheby’s and Christie’s) it’s real art gallery, where famous pieces of art are accompanied by luxury interiors and top notch service. Some art pieces are standing apart (e.g. huge floor to ceiling Tiepolo triptych in the lobby which was at a time most expensive lot at one of big auctions). Pieces of art are really everywhere not only in lobby and restaurants, however also in hallways, and spaces near elevators and some of the hotel Suites (e.g. writing desk which did belong to Napoleon in Napoleon Suite - which this time we were really lucky to see). These are not only paintings and sculptures, however also tapestry, ancient furniture and clocks and even costumes of famous people (e.g. on Imperial floor they have authentic costumes of famous Rudolf Nureyev from the ballets where he played). Once entering hotel you would not like to leave it. So no wonder that since the time we stepped into the hotel’s lobby our children did admire the hotel – first thing they told us – is that they actually do not want to go and see Rome they rather would stay at the hotel premises enjoying all what Cavalieri can offer – I think you can hardly ask for better assessment of the hotel – as children always saying the truth 😉 This time we did stay in 2 adjacent rooms on the Imperial Floor. For Imperial floor guests they do have separate nice and intimate check-in area and whole process was fast and efficient with glasses of prosecco offered to us and juices to our sons while we were waiting. After check-in we were guided to our rooms. Imperial floors are 7th and 8th (you need special card in the elevator to be able to access these 2 floors) and our rooms were on 7th floor very close to Imperial Club lounge which was very convenient. Rooms were huge in size, with extra comfy king-size bed in our room and 2 separate twin beds for our children, separate seating area, big bathroom with luxury bath amenities (recently they switched from Salvatore Ferragamo to Aqua di Parma), fluffy bathrobes and comfy sleepers. Rooms were mainly in light yellow colors, adding brightness to already airy and big room, with high-quality wooden furniture in very good state and in bathrooms all is in marble. Every room also has very interesting feature which is quite unique to this hotel - there is a mirror on the wall in the room corridor, which is in fact second door, which can be closed to make room itself completely sound-proof from main corridor of the floor – very nice touch. Overall, room indeed provides the luxurious feeling and is inviting you to relax. However, room description would be not full without mentioning the balcony - or I would rather say big terrace equipped with table and armchairs and providing absolutely GORGEOUS views of the whole Rome (it’s an additional charge for rooms overlooking Rome, however it is really worth it). Because of the hotel location (on the highest hill of Rome) and high floor (7th and 8th are highest leaving floors, on 9th only restaurants and terraces are located) the view is really breathtaking - you have absolutely uninterrupted Rome view including if you are lucky (depending of room location on the floor) dome of St. Peters Cathedral. As I already mentioned they do have Imperial Club lounge and all guests of Imperial floor can enjoy its services. Prior to COVID times it was open from 7 AM to 11 PM, this year when we stayed it was closing a bit earlier, serving: buffet breakfast, afternoon snack, Tea time, and then Dinner snack and drinks in the evening). I've been to many hotels’ executive lounges all over the world - and to be short Cavalieri's is definitely up among the best! Wide variety of food at all servings, high quality products matched with impeccable service in the classic setting surrounded by real pieces of art, making Lounge experience really unforgettable. Lounge has several balconies overlooking Rome and it is very nice to spend some evening hours there with wonderful views. Also included in Imperial room rate is use of SPA and indoor swimming pool, in previous stays we never used indoor pool as always did stay in warm months, however as this time we stayed in January – indoor pool was one of the hits for our children. It is located on lowest level of the hotel (along with SPA) and can be easily reached via all main elevators. Pool is quite big in size in classic setting with zone of jacuzzi and small waterfall, it also has HUGE real fireplace with big glass front door so you can admire works of fire while swimming and relaxing in one of the lounges – really great experience. This year I also used their gym (located on the same level as indoor pool) it is well-equipped with modern facilities and has good air-conditioning, so really joy for morning or evening workouts. Coming to the food and drinks - we did try breakfast both in the Lounge and in the main restaurant – both did have nice variety of high-quality products and so anyone can find smth to the taste. Drinks served in Lounge and in the lobby are of highest quality as well with nice presentation. One other thing worth mentioning – is that hotel has really very big territory (I would even say huge by Rome standards) – impeccably clean and well-manicured park where they have 2 swimming pools (one really big and another smaller one with more intimate atmosphere) with a lot of places to relax and dine outside in warm months – so outdoor space is real gem for month from May to Sep when outdoor facilities are open. To finish few more words about location – hotel is on the hill 20-25 minutes’ walk from Vatican, at the same time they also provide hourly free shuttle bus service to the Centre of Rome - which is very convenient option (shuttle operates from 8.30 till 21.00). WiFi is free throughout the hotel and of very good quality. Hotel is spotlessly clean. Staff always was very helpful, friendly and efficient. Wanted to say separate huge thanks to Alessandra Mezzanotte, who helped us with booking and throughout our whole stay – she is great personality and very professional, always willing to go extra mile to please hotel guests – just exemplifying excellent service. Summarizing, we did really enjoy our stay and didn’t want to leave this wonderful and inspiring place. We will be very much looking forward to return yet again and can highly recommend Rome Cavalieri for anyone searching for unforgettable luxurious experience in Eternal City.…
