Hotel Lord Byron ★★★★★

The influence Rome has had upon Western art cannot be properly appreciated until strolling through one of the city’s vast and ostentatious art galleries, with iconic painting after painting hung upon the brimming walls. Rome’s architectural phenomenon can similarly only be experienced through a day of sightseeing. The wealth of history to be acquainted with and activities to partake in will no doubt leave you overwhelmed...unless of course you are able to plan your day from the comfort of a five-star Art Deco hotel room.

You find yourself at the fabulous Hotel Lord Byron after walking down a cobbled street lined with vintage mopeds and elegant trees. The grand architecture of the building will immediately grab your attention; it’s a piece of art in itself. The homage to classic 1930s design is apparent at once, with pristine colours and eclectic motifs incorporated at every turn. Inside, the interior is composed of marble surfaces, mirrored walls and curious illustrations. The furniture is decorative, tasteful and comfortable - formed primarily out of spiralling frames and clean square shapes in this wonderfully ornamental setting.
Intriguing statues and other conversation pieces are to be spotted as your pass through the lobby and proceed on to the splendour of your room. The subtle lighting, clear surfaces and curvaceous details of the room are complemented by half-oval armchairs in shades of maroon and carmine, anomalously shaped vases and enormous Art Deco portraits.

Despite its dexterous recreation of 1930s glamour, the Hotel Lord Byron is principally a place where one lives in the moment, enjoying modern luxuries whilst absorbing all the romantic revelations and enthralling tales today’s Rome has to offer. For the full ‘La Dolce Vita’ experience, however, one must not forget dining at the hotel’s restaurant...

The suave elegance of Lord Byron’s Lounge Bar has guests sampling award-winning cocktails to the sound of smooth piano, whilst the hotel’s prized restaurant, furnished with high-backed chairs and octagonal tables, offers guests a feast of sumptuous Italian cuisine and local wines. If you haven’t already been awoken by the golden sunrise and sound of church bells in the morning, then the heavenly scent of freshly prepared breakfast wafting through the hotel is sure to do the trick. A selection of gourmet preserves, seasonal fruit, organic cereals, speciality cheeses, warm breads and Sicilian juice awaits you in the restaurant, ready to prepare you for a day of adventure and triumph in the city of Rome.
