Rising above Piazza della Repubblica, Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel stands as one of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Its grand neoclassical façade, crowned with sweeping arches and marble columns, conceals centuries of Roman history. Set atop the ancient Baths of Diocletian and incorporating a seventeenth-century granary within its structure, the hotel bridges the past and present with effortless elegance. Following a recent multi million euro restoration, every space has been thoughtfully renewed, enhancing the building’s heritage while introducing a polished contemporary aesthetic.

Guest rooms and suites offer a balance of historic character and refined modern comfort. High ceilings, silk wall coverings and sculpted marble details set an elegant tone, while curated artworks add depth and authenticity. The Sophia Loren Suite captures the glamour of Italian cinema, and the Duplex Piazza Suite delivers commanding views over the Fountain of the Naiads, offering a vantage point that feels unmistakably Roman.

Culinary expression is central to the experience. INEO showcases inventive Italian cuisine shaped by artistry and precision, while SEEN by Olivier brings Mediterranean, Brazilian and Japanese influences to its vibrant rooftop setting. As dusk settles, the terrace becomes one of Rome’s most fashionable gathering places, with DJ sets and panoramic views creating an atmosphere perfect for long summer evenings.

The Akwa Lobby Bar is an elegant social hub, illuminated by a striking Murano chandelier. It has become a stylish place to see and be seen, drawing both hotel guests and sophisticated locals for aperitif hour, crafted cocktails and refined light bites.

A highlight of the hotel is its rooftop sanctuary, featuring a sun-soaked terrace and a serene pool with uninterrupted views across the city’s terracotta rooftops and domes. It is one of Rome’s most coveted escapes, offering tranquillity above the lively piazza below.

With its restoration complete, Anantara Palazzo Naiadi stands as a tribute to Rome’s grandeur — a place where history, design and modern glamour meet in perfect harmony.
