Location & Service
The elegant neoclassical front of the luxury hotel forms the curve of Piazza della Repubblica, overlooking Rutelli’s Fountain of the Naiads, with sweeping arches and towering pillars. Some of Rome’s most famous sights, such as the Spanish Steps, are within walking distance of the hotel, and the Repubblica Metro Station is directly outside the front entrance of the hotel, providing convenient access to the rest of the city. Termini station is also just around the corner making it easy for guests to embark on day trips to other areas of Italy, whilst bus and metro stops, and taxis are also just a few steps away.
The hotel is part of the Anantara brand, a group of luxury hotels focused on tailored service and luxury high-end settings. The attention to detail at Anantara Palazzo Naiadi is exceptional, more reminiscent to a boutique hideaway than a busy lavish hotel. Due to the sheer hands-on management style and excellent staff-to-guest ratio, you’ll constantly find a staff member who is eager to book you a taxi, or direct you to the very best rooftop table with the nicest view, no matter how busy it gets.
