Crossing Condotti

CENTRE STAGE IN ROME, Crossing Condotti feels rather like having your own private downtown apartment. Just steps from Piazza di Spagna, this elegant townhouse makes the perfect pied à terre.

Guests come and go freely with their own set of keys – so you feel like a local, not a tourist. It’s easy to make yourselves at home at this polished and intimate  apartment-style private residence in the Eternal City.

Don’t expect all the trappings of a full-service hotel – there’s no room service or restaurant, and guests eat out. Instead, you’ll find a lounge with a plump sofa and books, and a kitchen stocked with complimentary soft drinks and a Nespresso machine for that vital start-the-day caffè.

Roman residence

Five compact rooms ooze stylish Italian flair. Antiques and oil paintings from the owner’s private collection are matched by well chosen modern pieces and up-to-the-minute creature comforts, while parquet floors and original beamed wooden ceilings underline the feel of an exclusive Roman residence.

You’ll find a kingsize bed, top-quality linen, wide-screen TV with Sky channels, free wi-fi and a hospitality tray. Restful tones of taupe, chalk, olive and dove-grey are set off by flourishes of gold and ornate mirrors, classic Italian lamps, silken drapes and gleaming chests of drawers. Slick bathrooms come with a tub-shower combo, plenty of fluffy towels and luxury L’Occitane lotions and gels.

Crossing Condotti’s manager-concierge is a wizard at helping to plan trips and excursions, and has all the inside track on where to eat, party and avoid the big tourist crowds.

With the famous wall-to-wall designer stores of via Condotti and the Spanish Steps literally steps from your front door, you won’t find a better location. If your sights are set on Rome Central, here’s the place to stay.
