Hotel Barocco, small hotel overlooks the majestic Piazza Barberini with
the triumphant Baroque design of the amazing Fontana del Tritone, the
work of Bernini, and its name pays tribute to the style which gives life
to the outstanding setting of the capital.
The entrance on traffic-free Via della Purificazione leads to an elegant
and cozy hall where you can flick through the major international
newspapers first thing in the morning.
The atmosphere of this exclusive hotel is one of elegance, reserve and
comfort. The clientele consists of businessmen, professionals, artists
and journalists as well as visitors from all over the world who come
here to discover the beauties of Rome and the city's secret corners.
Each of the 41 rooms on six floors has a different layout; some also
have balconies and terraces overlooking parts of the square and Rome's
picturesque roofs, princely palaces and flowered penthouses. The
interiors boast soft floral fabrics in shades of blue and red, cherry
wood, mirrors and precious marbles in the bathrooms. Walls are decorated
by 19th-century prints and oil paintings featuring floral compositions,
peaceful landscapes and Turkish-style scenes. The five suites are
particularly charming and have a décor by Vivai del Sud with striped
damasks in bright green and ivory and cream marble floors. The overall
effect is one of luminous harmony complemented by the vistas over the
square. All the rooms have modern comforts including air conditioning,
satellite TV, wall safes, PC plugs and hair dryers. Suites are also
provided with dressing gowns. The rooms are totally soundproofed.
