The Grand Hotel Palatino is situated in the heart of ancient Rome. This modern hotel is only a short distance from the Termini Railway Station, and many tourist attractions. Both the ancient Roman Forum and the Colosseum are within easy walking distance from this hotel, and the Vatican is easily accessible, as well. The Grand Hotel Palatino features a bar, a restaurant and most importantly, a friendly staff renowned for their courtesy. This hotel was refurbished in 2003. Bus and subway transit can be found nearby, but the hotel is on the edge of a limited-traffic area, so exposure to noise should be limited. <bR> The guest rooms are spacious and appointed with a contemporary décor and furnishings. From most rooms, guests may enjoy a spectacular view over the most famous monuments and the rooftops of Rome. The lounge area of the hotel has renovated into the ideal place to enjoy cocktails, served by the "America Bar". Guests will experience expert service and superb culinary specialties at the "Borgia" restaurant. The Grand Hotel Palatino is convenient to fine dining, shopping and entertainment venues.
