Hotel St. George, Rome

The exclusive 5 stars Deluxe Hotel St. George now illuminate Via Giulia - one of the oldest and most enchanting corners of Rome - with a more contemporary light. Like a diamond on a precious ring, the St. George is set in an oasis where time stands still; just a stone’s throw from Campo dei Fiori, Piazza Navona, the Vatican City and Castel St. Angelo, this is the ideal starting point from which to set out on your voyage of discovery of the marvels of the Eternal City. In 1508 Pope Julius II commissioned Bramante to build the “Palazzo dei Tribunali”, but this project was destined to remain nothing more than a grand ambition. Now, more than 500 years later, the architect Lorenzo Bellini has supervised the total restoration of the building into a luxury hotel. Welcoming spaces and unique details awake visitor’s curiosity, drawing them towards the St. George’s most intriguing areas, unveiling the unexpected parts of the fascinating whole.

The St. George provides its guests with a state of pure relaxation in an area dedicated to health and wellbeing designed to cater for every need, offering a sauna, Turkish bath, hydro massage, gym and specific personalised programmes, the efficacy of which are guaranteed by the professional competency of its selected staff. One of the idle pastimes of the ancient Romans was taking care of their bodies – centuries later, each visitor to the St. George can comfortably relive similar emotions that have been tapped into by a modern idea of hospitality. Tradition and innovation also combine in the kitchen. The “Sofà di Via Giulia” offers guests traditional Italian cuisine alongside inviting mediterranean delicacies. The brand new Wine Bar -a heaven for DOC wine lovers- also serves tempting dishes in “finger food” style and the Cigar Club, the height of refinement suggests hand made cigars. A dedicated musical accompaniment provides relaxing background for a read in the carefully selected Library where culture and music create an inviting international alchemy. The hotel’s splendid terrace, open in summer only, offers a spectacle with an ancient flavour, where one’s gaze is free to wander over rooftops, domes and ancient balconies, Piazza Della Cancelleria and Piazza Farnese, ending in delightful narrow streets paved in age-old “Sampietrini”. A visit to the St. George is an opportunity to loose oneself in a unique atmosphere… this is a chance that is not to be missed.

The luxurious 64-room hotel provide a dynamic backdrop, where the guest is simultaneously the actor and the spectator. In these rooms there is a sensation of time lingering on and guests are pampered by the attention to detail, the views and the furnishing textiles, all of which are magically studied leaving nothing to chance.
