Hotel Art by the Spanish Steps

Art by name and Art by nature. Super unusual establishment, originally a 200 year-old chapel and now transformed into a very fashionable, boutique-style establishment. Retains the original, pillars and vaulted ceilings and has added many quirky and tasteful additions.

On a very attractive, tree-lined, side street, just a stone throw from the main upmarket shopping district and with many major sights easily walk-able from this central location.

Offers a bistro restaurant on site and a chic little courtyard for fine weather drinks as well as a few leisure facilities too! Suit those looking for something really different, in a great location in the historic centre.

Exterior

Moderm, cream, 5-storey, terraced building with the entrance accessed via a marble passageway off the street. No balconies.

Property type: Hotel

Balcony/Terrace: None

Storeys: 5

Interior

Outstanding open-plan central interior with the original vaulted ceiling and pillars, in sharp contrast to trendy, modern furniture in the bar and bistro area. Two unusual, capsule booths are actually the reception and check-in desks, although they look more like they are about to be fired into space!

Rooms: 46

Grounds

A central courtyard is surrounded by the building and has space-age seating in bold colours with square tables. Shrubs border this area.

Location

Area Type: On a narrow, cobbled side street between Piazza del Popolo and Piazza di Spagna, with other old terraced buildings. Surrounded by upmarket shopping streets with lots of trendy cafes and restaurants also on the streets nearby. The nearest metro station is less than a 5-minute walk away on Piazza di Spagna. Unusually well-vegetated street with a few trees and plants lining it.
