The Pantheon Iconic Rome Hotel Welcomes Guests to the Heart of the Eternal City

The Pantheon Iconic Rome Hotel is now welcoming guests to a stylish hospitality experience in the heart of the Eternal City. The new five-star address will impress travelers and locals alike with timeless elegance, modern luxury and creative hospitality, as well as the culinary excellence of Michelin-starred Chef Pasquale Palamaro. From its enviable location steps from The Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and countless other famous sites, to its individually designed guest rooms and suites, to its Divinity Terrace Lounge Bar with 360-degree views of the city beyond, The Pantheon Hotel is a sophisticated sanctuary all its own in ancient Rome.

Designer Marco Piva of Studio Marco Piva in Milan was brought on to execute The Pantheon Hotel’s vision, drawing inspiration from the heritage and vibrancy of the city while fashioning the hotel’s interior and exterior details. Marco Piva’s primary inspiration comes from the nearby Pantheon’s geometry, light and building materials. Circular motifs, marble and brass are incorporated prominently throughout the hotel, while a careful study on the use of light creates the effect of scenography and a sense of surprise. Marco Piva also used light effects to highlight various materials and architectural elements. For example, original arches in the Gallery leading off the lobby are covered in metal and embedded with lights to create the appearance of architectural illumination.

Guest Rooms with Exceptional Views

Each of the 79 individually designed guest rooms, including 20 suites, are characterized by calm and comfort, with custom designed furniture and furnishings and original works of art. Luxurious upholstery is abundant; bathrooms are fashioned in marble and glass; and color schemes gradually brighten on each ascending floor. Each guest room also features a glass display case showcasing a rotating selection of items inspired by local Rome events and happenings, such as design shows and cultural events, which bring to life the never-ending evolution of the surrounding city.

Standard in-room amenities include comfortable king beds; individually controlled heating and air-conditioning; OLED Smart TVs; complimentary Wi-Fi Internet access; and complimentary Samsung Smartphone Manets. In addition to a standard mini bar, each room also offers a second mini wine cellar equipped with three full-sized bottles of Champagne, red and white options. Some guest rooms also offer exceptional views of sights including The Pantheon, Piazza Sant’Eustachio and Via di Santa Chiara outside the hotel.
