What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
the Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel is a proper full-scale grand hotel, a 232-room monument behind a neoclassical façade facing the Piazza della Repubblica.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Anchoring Piazza della Repubblica in Castro Pretorio, the hotel puts the ancient Diocletian complex and Roma Termini within an easy walk.
The rooms
High-ceilinged rooms pair sage green and gold accents with travertine marble bathrooms, framing views of the Naiads fountain outside.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The seasonal rooftop plunge pool sits on the open-air terrace, looking out over Roman rooftops and nearby domes.
The spa and gym
Spa treatments draw on ancient Diocletian bath rituals and Thai bodywork. A 24-hour fitness centre sits next door.
Dogs stay too.
Bar
SEEN by Olivier
The rooftop terrace serves Nikkei dishes and craft cocktails, with evening DJ sets playing above the piazza.
A landmark Neoclassical building set on the ruins of the famous Diocletian thermal baths – still visible through the glass floor at basement level – the hotel has long been an important meeting place.
At the table
Akwa Bar pours cocktails beneath grand marble colonnades, and Michelin-starred INEO serves tasting menus grounded in Roman traditions.
How it began
Built atop the fourth-century Baths of Diocletian, the palazzi also incorporate an 18th-century papal granary commissioned by Pope Clement XI.
“Set in an enviable location right on Piazza della Repubblica, Anantara Palazzo Naidi’s 232 guest rooms and suites feel like mini-palaces, with their enormous beds…”
