BOSCOLO EXEDRA ROMA, A 5-STAR LUXURY PALACE IN ROME

http://exedra-roma.boscolohotels.com/

In the heart of the Eternal City, in Piazza della Repubblica, between the Baths of Diocletian and the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli designed by Michelangelo, the first 5-star luxury hotel in Rome was established.

Owing to the astounding restoration and redesigning of a sumptuous late XIX-century palace, the Boscolo Exedra Roma is one of Rome’s most luxury addresses for guests.

The hotel offers contemporary styled rooms all with modern amenities, two cosy restaurants, a superb terrace overlooking Rome, and an exclusive well-being centre.
