PORTRAIT ROMA * * * * *
Si te gustan los hoteles que se parecen más a una casa de lujo italiana, este lugar es para ti, sobre todo para una escapada romántica. Es un magnífico hotel situado en el centro de Roma, muy intimista, muy elegante y muy de moda con una terraza con unas vistas magníficas a los tejados de la ciudad. El Retrato Suites dispone de ocho estudios, cinco suites y un penthouse en tres plantas, y no es casualidad que haya sido concebido sobre la nueva tienda Salvatore Ferragamo de Via Condotti. El pequeño tamaño de este hotel no le permite tener un restaurante. El hotel cumple todas las expectativas: una decoración cuidada y de buen gusto, un ambiente íntimo, un trato muy acogedor, un servicio impecable y una ubicación ideal - a dos pasos de la piazza di Spagna, de la Fontana de Trevi, del Panteón y de la piazza Navona.
Upon arrival I felt like I was entering someone’s home for a visit and the staff kept that feeling going. It was all about my partner and me. The staff are so well trained that they don’t come across as over trained. They are ever present, without hovering. They are kind and engaging. They are polite and clear in their communication. I’m the guest who wanted to play backgammon and three employees went on a hunt to find the board!
The room was very comfortable and efficient from the décor to the bed to the layout. Kudos to the person who selected Dyson products – again it felt like home. My partner described the hotel as ‘posh’. I saw opulence in the details. He’s already planning our next stay at Portrait Roma!
We enjoyed the private roof top terrace after dinner and for breakfast. It’s very relaxing with many different conversational areas. Breakfast was buffet style with many offerings. The food was delicious, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Evenings on the rooftop were wonderful. Grab a lap blanket and a cocktail and head outdoors for the view. Can you see the Steps? Any other landmarks? The night skyline is beautiful.
If you can, walk down a flight or two of stairs and view the photos. I loved the history!
I can't remember the last time I wanted to spend time at a hotel while traveling! Thank you for a wonderful experience.
