Rome Cavalieri, A Waldorf Astoria Hotel

This is my sister's favourite hotel in Italy and now that I've stayed there, I know why. I've been to Italy around 20 times and never been to Rome. This was my first time, and so the Cavalieri was the obvious choice. We were in a King Imperial room on the 7th floor, and being a Hilton Diamond member, had access to the 7th floor executive lounge. This was one of the most opulent and well-staffed and serviced lounges I'd ever been in with a stunning vista over Rome and the Vatican. Truly inspirational. The hotel exudes luxury and all the staff we interacted with in the hotel were excellent. Reception, concierge, door man, everyone was very professional and polite. Breakfast was excellent with a great array of choice and service – my wife enjoyed her daily fresh customised smoothie and the scrambled eggs. We dined the first night in the hotel and the food was excellent. Staff were very friendly and I had some great friendly banter with Imma, who chastised me for putting marsala brandy in my own homemade tiramisu – apparently that is not “true” Italian tiramisu. The hotel tiramisu was lovely. We had one foray to the Spa to use the facilities – not as large as I was expecting, but we enjoyed the steam room and jacuzzi. My wife liked the hotel gym. Note that the hotel is not close to public transport and you can’t walk sensibly down to old city – you need to use the hotel shuttle bus or get taxis. We opted for the latter. I’m sure my wife and I will be back.

I personally don't think this hotel is worth anywhere near the price. I went on a girls work trip, breakfast was included and they charged us breakfast everyday resulting in unnecessary charge of hundreds. One of of our friends rooms had a foul smell, I couldn't even step foot inside without feeling sick. They don't issue an iron to your room, I was told to visit the 9th floor to iron, however your key only works for the floor you are staying on which is so inconvenient for this. There are so many hotels, that are not as pricey I have visited that I think is worth way more. Wouldn't recommend.

The brunch was out of this world from beginning to end. There were tons of items marked GF. Not all were actually GF. Make sure you ask the chef and don’t go by the signs. The items that are GF are absolutely the tastiest things you have ever eaten. So many GF deserts that were so inventive and absolutely delicious.

Outstanding Property in Rome!! I cannot say enough about this gorgeous Hotel! I am somewhat of a “Hotel snob”, and I have stayed at some amazing properties when I travel. This tops them all! I had a two room suite overlooking the pool, and the view was gorgeous with the city of Rome in the background. Views of St. Peter’s Basilica are breathtaking. The staff was extremely hospitable and greeted me as I arrived and ushered my husband and I to the Concierge desk where they offered Champagne and other beverages. We were briefed on all the hotel amenities, and personally escorted to our suite. Fresh flowers awaited us there as well as a bottle of champagne and other savory snacks. Everything you could possibly need to make your stay comfortable is provided. Rooms are beautifully cleaned and checked in the morning and again with evening turn down service. Staff is outstanding, and extremely helpful willing with securing taxis, making plans for your day, or with anything you might need to make your stay more pleasant. I did not want to leave!! This property is located away from the hustle and bustle of Rome, so is quite relaxing. They offer shuttle service several times a day to area attractions. Taxis can get you at any of the local sights within about 15-20 minutes. I cannot wait to go back!!
