About the Hotel

Rome's magnificent Empire Palace Hotel was built in the 1870s for a family of Italian nobles. Its beautifully restored ceiling frescoes of the heavens reflect a meticulous regard for the building's origins, while daring contemporary artwork in the lobby delivers this landmark into the 21st century. As for the guestrooms, their elegance is timeless. In the garden courtyard, cypress and magnolia trees surround a 16th-century fountain. During the summer months, diners at Aureliano can enjoy the restaurant's acclaimed Mediterranean cuisine in this romantic, outdoor space.

Lovely Hotel

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 months ago

Had a great 3 night stay here as a family. Lovely old stylish hotel, room was very nice, breakfast superb and the staff both professional and friendly. Less than 15 min walk to Termini and nice area with a number of close eateries. Would definitely come again

Tired and worn

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 months ago

Listen to the reviews that say this is tired and worn. The first room we were shown had a desktop so water-stained that I’m surprised it wasn’t discarded long ago. There was also a step up into the bathroom, a real hazard at night. We were able to move to a slightly larger room that did not have these issues. There were, however, nails sticking out of the bathroom door molding (my husband removed them). The furniture in the common rooms also showed years of wear. Although this wasn't an issue with us, this a hotel with zero accessibility; even the main floor had multiple levels with steps. There were a couple of upsides: a good included breakfast and a responsive staff. This is a hotel in bad need of refurbishment and I’m surprised that it’s part of chain that bills itself as “luxury” on its website.

Excellent hotel with great staff

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 7 months ago

From arrival to departure we couldn't have been more happy with our choice to stay here. Yes, you have to do quite a bit of walking to get to the major sites (20 mins to Trevi, 35 mins to Colloseum), but it was in a nice quiet area which was a joy to return to after a day in the choas and noise of the city. We had a superior twin room on the 5th floor (507), which was a corner room with two windows with different street aspects. The room was a good size, and the bathroom was large and well equipped, and the beds were comfortable. The room was ready when we arrived earlier than the check-in time, which is always a bonus. There was only one elevator, but it was speedy and efficient. Breakfast was a delight, with an amazing choice of hot and cold foods. We didn't eat in the restaurant but did enjoy pre-dinner drinks in the courtyard, which was a wonderful peaceful oasis. Drinks were served by a delightful friendly man (didn't get his name). In fact, all the staff we encountered at the Empire Roma were friendly, helpful, and professional. I would recommend this hotel.

Excellent

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 7 months ago

The location was excellent for me. Close to just about everything. Walking distance to Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and Roma Termini Train Station. Excellent Customer service Lyuba, Gianluca, and Ivan at the front desk were absolutely terrific. The whole front desk was great, but I encountered these three the most. Grazie Mille.

A great find for us is the Empire Palace Hotel in Rome! Beautiful rooms, excellent service and delicious food made it difficult to be tourists. We were late to leave the hotel in the mornings because of the breakfasts, and we were back early every evening to relax at the bar and nap before dinner!
