Boscolo Aleph Hotel, Rome: Review
0This truly unique hotel is located in the heart of Rome, just a few steps from the famous Via Veneto, famed in the sixties and seventies for the popular Italian past time of people-watching! The hotel’s theme is based on Dante’s famous work, ‘The Divine Comedy’ which followed the character on an adventure through Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. From the lobby, to the bar on the 7th floor, the guest travels from ‘Inferno’ to ‘Paradiso’. With these unique variations it contrasts light with dark, luxurious with chic and subtlety with shock value! Bedrooms adopt a relaxing style, mostly decorated in blues and creams with stylish mosaic bathrooms. A ‘must see’ hotel in a ‘must see’ city!
