Rome
The Hotel Mediterraneo, a 4-star hotel
in Rome, was initially designed to be a hotel in the grand European
style and this goal has indeed been fulfilled. With 254 rooms on
10 floors, the building stands over fifty m high and is the highest
building in the historical center, built on the highest of Rome's
seven hills, the Esquilino. Its interior design is inspired by a
monumental and understated luxury. The lobby is adorned with marble
busts of Roman Emperors and mosaics portraying the departure and
return of Ulysses to Ithaca, the young Telemacus, Penelope and his
dog Argus. The interior design is dominated by fine woods and marble,
found throughout the entire hotel, and a sea theme which includes
a clock with waves and a wheel which turns on it.

The Hotel Mediterraneo is one of the best
examples of Art Deco in Rome. Ten floors of understated classical rationalism enriched with marble and fine woodwork like the grand marble staircase with steps and landings built with solid pieces of marble suspended in air. The bar has an alabaster counter and wood panels inlaid with fine woods depicting Bacchus in the company of grape harvesters. On the upper level in the grand lobby one of the walls boasts a painted vellum map of the Mediterranean Sea. The Hotel's central position, near the Railway station TERMINI, permits one to visit on foot the Fountain of Trevi, Coliseum, Imperial Forums, the Opera Theatre, the National Museum, and Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. Hotel Mediterraneo can also host conferences of up to 100 people in its two meeting rooms both equipped with the latest audio and video technology, which includes an amplification system, audio and video recordings, projection systems, photocopier, direct telephone line, and air conditioning. |
