Albergo Cesàri, Rome

The story of the Albergo Cesàri is still unfolding. It began in 1787 when a licence to run the hotel was issued to Stefano Cesàri during the papacy of Pio VI Braschi. The licence, which is a unique document in the history of Hotels in Rome, has pride of place in the hall of the hotel. The Cesàri, which Stendhal was very fond of, accommodated such illustrious personages as Mazzini and Garibaldi, and such historical figures as Momsen and Gregorovius. The preparation for the establishment of the Repubblica Romana in 1849 was carried out here. From January 1 st 1899 till to day, the Hotel has belonged to the Palumbo-Curti family, who passed it down from father to son.

Completely refurbished in 2007, the hotel now features 47 sound-proof guestrooms, including 10 superior ones. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, mini-bar, in room safe, hairdryer, direct-dial telephone and complimentary coffee and tea making facilities. Additional amenities include DSL Internet station, Wi-Fi connection in rooms and throughout the hotel. Buffet breakfast is served on the roof garden. Non-smoking floors are also available. Private garage near the hotel (at extra cost). The hotel’s new Roof Garden has a bar and lounge area with spectacular views of the Eternal City.
