"A former convent, built on the site of the suburban home of Emperor Nero's mother, this enviably located hotel in the heart of historic Rome is housed in a chic and sprawling villa, complete with panoramic cityscapes, verdant gardens and an outdoor pool." Full review

"Rome is not exactly known for relaxation, but guests at Gran Meliá Rome Villa Agrippina will have ample opportunity to do just that." Full review
Fodor's "The Gran Melia Rome bills itself as an urban resort, set inside the 19th century Villa Agrippina and surrounded by gardens." Full review

BlackBook "Interior guru and architect, Lorenzo Bellini, incorporated fancifully modern details in every aspect of his designs, giving great nods to Aalto and Roman masonry."

At the in-house spa, relax the way the ancients did, in a Roman bath, or unwind with a shiatsu massage beneath one of Bramante’s original arches. Enjoy a handmade cigar in the hotel’s cigar lounge, and listen to nearby church bells from the rooftop bar.
