| Description of the Grand Hotel Plaza |
This impressive hotel is a former convent set back from Rome's main thoroughfare, a 10-minute walk from the Spanish Steps and designer shopping on the Via Condotti. The highlight of the hotel is the ornate, gilded Salone delle Feste, with its huge chandeliers; other features include a mahogany-paneled bar and a frescoed breakfast room. The 200 individually furnished guestrooms offer high ceilings, windows that open, complimentary bottled water, and large marble bathrooms with designer toiletries. The hotel was the location for Zefferelli's film Tea with Mussolini, in which it was described it as the finest hotel in Europe'. It also features in a number of Visconti's films. You can't miss the life-sized, marble Lion of Babylon at the foot of the grand marble staircase it may look scary but it has been a symbol of welcome for 140 years. This hotel has 200 individually decorated rooms, all of which feature high ceilings, four-feet high, opening windows, brass Art Deco bedsteads with Italian linen sheets, oriental rugs, silk-upholstered sofas or armchairs, and black-and-white lithographs of Rome's historic sites. The spacious bathrooms have black, white, and gray marble walls and floors. All feature telephones, Sorette Fontana toiletries, two-person tubs or power shower stalls. Rooms overlook the baroque San Carlo church, internal courtyard or the pedestrianised shopping street of Via Condotti.
