Hotel Giulio Cesare

Originally a Patrician Roman villa built by Count Paterno Solari in the 19th century- the Giulio Cesare was converted into an elegant town-house hotel in 1969. Owned and operated by the Pandolfi family since then- the hotel is just a 10-minute walk across the Tiber River from Piazza del Popolo- the Spanish Steps- and 15 minutes walk from the Vatican City and St. Peters Basilica. A short metro ride takes you to the very heart of Rome and major attractions including the Colosseum and Roman Forum- Trevi Fountain- Piazza Navona. Travelers will enjoy strolling by the designer boutiques in the eternally fashionable Via Condotti area- and the sidewalk cafes in the Via Veneto of *La Dolce Vita* fame. The excellent location and refined ambiance make it ideal for both business and leisure travelers. The 76 tastefully-appointed rooms- with marble bathrooms- tubs/shower- and design fixtures are furnished in classical style- in an array of warm colors complemented by plush carpets- floor length drapes and crystal chandeliers with minibar- color Sat TV- direct dial phones- hairdryer- central air conditioning and wifi Internet connection. A full international buffet breakfast offers an impressive range of hot and cold selections to please the most exacting guest. After a full day in Rome- the overstuffed sofas and armchairs in the spacious lounge area embellished with antique tapestries and a working marble fireplace are an ideal place to relax with a cup of tea or cocktail. In warmer months- stepping out onto the private patio garden adjacent to the bar- the bustle of the city seems far away. Enjoy a drink or snack in the midst of the lush garden- where the sound of birdsong and the flowing water in the fountain combine to create a calming- relaxing environment in the heart of historic Rome.
