Hotel Art by Piazza di Spagna Rome, Italy

Residing amongst the antiquarian shops of Via Margutta, one of Rome's most picturesque streets, is Hotel Art. Its distinguishing feature is its vast lobby whose vaulted frescoed ceiling looks over a marble altar and cathedral-like stained glass windows. Such is its size, the reception area, lounges, bar and breakfast room all share the space. Beyond, is a secluded courtyard that serves drinks and light meals, the many gourmet restaurants in the neighbourhood satisfying the larger appetite. Architects and designers have shown great invention in the conversion; the 46 rooms are deceptively spacious, air conditioned and well-equipped with state-of-the-art facilities including Internet access. The fabrics, bed linen and bathrobes show a dedication to the guest's comfort and luxury. A fitness suite includes a sauna, Turkish bath, Swedish shower and the most recent Technogym machines.
