Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas has announced its debut in Italy with the addition of Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel to its portfolio. The historic property is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World.
The property sits at the heart of Piazza della Repubblica and has a fascinating architectural history with original elements commissioned by Pope Clement XI for the Vatican in 1705. The building is located over the ancient Diocletian Thermal Baths, whose excavated foundations, mosaics and pools can be seen through the lower ground floor.
Interior design of the 238-room hotel ranges from Neoclassical to Contemporary. Accommodation options offer varying configurations and styles with panoramic city views and spacious terraces. The hotel has 11 Duplex Suites, all of which provide views over the Piazza and the Fountain of the Naiads. There are three Executive Suites with amenities, including a treadmill, Jacuzzi, a steam bath and a terrace. The two Presidential Suites feature double-height French windows, marble bathrooms and a living room with dining area and kitchenette for intimate gatherings and private dining.
The hotel offers five dining experiences, with indoor and al fresco venues honoring Italy’s culinary traditions with contemporary flair. The Lobby Bar is popular with guests, and the intimate Ristorante Tazio serves Roman delights paired with Italian wines. Guests can enjoy beverages at Champagnerie overlooking the Fountain of the Naiads, or dine against the backdrop of the skyline at the Posh Rooftop Restaurant & Lounge Bar. La Frusta is the choice location for breakfast overlooking the Piazza della Repubblica. The culinary experiences are led by Chef Niko Sinisgalli.

In winter, guests can zip through cobbled alleys, seated in a double sidecar, or in a vintage Fiat 500 for a tour of Rome’s highlights.
