Visconti Palace

Via Federico Cesi 37, Vatican and Prati


Visconti Palace

There's a slightly corporate feel to this huge hotel, but things are slowly changing and the revamped lobby is a nod towards an evolving style conscious taste. Close to the Via Cola di Rienzo for all your shopping and Vatican needs.

Review

From the outside the Visconti Palace looks a bit like a 1970s conference centre – all brutalist architecture and heavy concrete – but a recent renovation has made the lobby really rather glamorous, with exotic flowers, brightly coloured furniture and contemporary design lighting.

Its location in the well-heeled residential area of Prati is quiet and restful, and yet the hotel is just a short skip from Piazza del Popolo in the centre of town and the Vatican.

Bedrooms still retain a slightly corporate feel, but they’re slowly doing them up and have joined the nascent trend in arty Roman hotels, displaying their own (fairly mediocre) collection of 20th-century Italian art.
