BETTOJA MASSIMO D'AZEGLIO

Located just 200 metres from bustling Termini station, the building's late 19th century 'Umbertino' style is continued in the renovated interior of the Bettoja Hotel Massimo D'Azeglio, maintaining a turn of the century feel thanks to traditional furnishings and extensive art collection. With polished, hardwood floors and wall panels, high ceilings and heavy wooden furniture, the decor in the air conditioned guestrooms are also evocative of the 1900s. All guestrooms are equipped with direct dial telephones and wireless Internet access, satellite television and minibars. Guests can relax with a cocktail or an aperitif while admiring pieces from the hotel's collection of 'Risorgimineto' prints and drawings in the lobby bar, perhaps while browsing the complimentary daily press, and take advantage of wireless Internet access throughout the entire building. In a discreet corner of the lobby, a business corner provides round the clock Internet access to those without their own computers. The restaurant serves traditional Italian cuisine at lunch and dinner, while cheeses and an extensive wine list are served under the brick vaulted ceiling in the cellar bar. Informed staff can provide detailed local information and help make travel bookings and babysitting is available on request. Health conscious guests are invited to make use of the gym facilities at an affiliated hotel just two blocks away and guests with cars can book secure pay parking spaces. Many of Rome's major attractions are easily reached on foot. Within 300 metres visitors will find the Santa Maria Maggiore basilica, while the monumental Coliseum, the Forum and the Trevi Fountain are all about a kilometre away. Rome Fiumicino airport is 35 kilometres and about a 45 minute journey from the hotel. A local train service runs between the airport terminal and Termini station in central Rome. The hotel is about a 100 metre walk from the station's main exit along Via Cavour. A taxi from the airport to the hotel costs around 50 EUR. The hotel can arrange private transfers if contacted in advance.
