Relais Palazzo Taverna (Hotel)
Via dei Gabrielli, 92
Rome , Italy
Boutique style and bargain rates are rare bedfellows in central Rome. But that’s what you get at this eye-catching newcomer. It has only 11 rooms, but they all sport a modern look with designer wallpaper, black wooden floorboards and funky, floral motifs. Free wi-fi access is available.
Quietly chic, this slick three-star is beautifully located off Via dei Coronari, a medieval street famous for its antique shops. It’s far enough from the hordes to be quiet, but within easy walking distance of the centro storico’s main attractions. Inside, the atmosphere is contemporary cool. White corridors are lined with black and white photos, while rooms are spacious and unfussy. No two are the same – some have high ceilings, some low – but all are colourful, smart and good value. There are no public rooms, so breakfast is served in your room. Simply tick off what you want on the menu card and leave it with the helpful reception staff.
