The hotel's ivy covered faade gives way to a lobby boasting artworks by Picasso and Mir, as well as classical Roman statuary. The three tiered rooftop terrace offers views over St Peter's Basilica, the Vittoriano monument and Castel Sant'Angelo. The ground floor library has an extensive collection of books which can be taken to rooms or the rooftop terrace on request. The marble floored Picasso restaurant features antique tables and 19th century silk upholstered chairs, and serves breakfast and seasonal Italian dishes.

The hotel is located five metres from Piazza Navona, a lively square dotted with cafes, built atop the ruins of an ancient Roman stadium. The square is home to Bernini's spectacular 17th century fountain, the 'Fontana dei Fiumi'. Rome Fiumicino Airport is 26 kilometres away and can be reached by car in approximately 45 minutes.
