The Bar/Lounge at G-Rough

"The newest addition to Rome’s growing number of boutique luxury accommodations opened in central Rome in March 2015 on a square just off the exuberantly Baroque Piazza Navona"

"Sticking to a formula similar to its Venetian sister, G-Rough combines heritage features with contemporary finishes, and is a clear reflection of the owners' love affair with the capital; not least in the ground floor café and bar, which exhibits work by local artists"

"Other amenities include a free soft minibar that includes soda, juice, and water; free Wi-Fi throughout the building; and a coffee and tea maker in every room"

"The central location is ideal for checking out both the must-see tourist spots and the neighborhood’s delightful array of wine bars and chic restaurants"

"Describing its ethos as ‘rough-luxe’, the 10-room boutique hotel places original, vintage pieces by leading Italian designers in a stripped-back historic building, leavening the mix with rich fabrics, playful contemporary art interventions and a ground-floor bar and breakfast room that feels like a shabby-chic bistro"

"Each unit is one of a kind: patina walls come illuminated by 1950s light fixtures, Baroque style ceilings sit above items like a Gio Ponti bar trolley"

"You enter by the bar area, the breakfast room is through the back, and between the two is a small desk area for settling bills and chatting to the staff"

"A top-notch free breakfast and a sleek bar with an extensive wine selection add to G-Rough’s appeal, but the hotel’s small size limits the amount of features on hand"
