From the outside, the ornate house looks like a well-kept secret. The entrance is adorned with the name of the in-house restaurant, Don Pasquale, which you have to cross to get to the stylish lobby for check-in. With its location on Via delle Muratte, it takes only 30 seconds to reach the world-famous Trevi Fountain, an undisputed Baroque masterpiece. From here, you can also reach the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Spanish Steps in just a few minutes' walk. As the capital of Italy, Rome is of course also famous for its fabulous fashion . Via del Corso, in the immediate vicinity, is home to some of the biggest brands in the world, while Via dei Condotti is the most exclusive address in the city, where you can find boutiques of the most exclusive fashion labels.

Each room follows its own color scheme and is decorated with a variety of high-quality fabrics and stylish art. The amount of love and detail that has gone into the design of the Roman domicile is evident from the images: the hotel's goal is to provide its guests with a home away from home, and it has adopted the Marvin Gaye song "Wherever I Lay My Hat (That's My Home)" as its motto, which is why only fashionable artwork depicting hats adorns the walls in the rooms and suites.

The hotel's suites offer guests extra space and look like elegant city apartments of stylish Romans. The cozy Terrace Suite on the top floor is the only one of the 30 accommodations to boast a delightful roof terrace overlooking the hotel's charming courtyard.

Food & Drinks

The restaurant of the historic building where composer Gaetano Donizetti once lived is named after his most famous work. With its all-day cuisine of creative reinterpretations of classic Roman dishes, Don Pasquale has quickly become a popular address for social gatherings of locals as well as travelers.

In a stylish atmosphere, you can enjoy the outstanding creations of Chef Domenico Boschi, a true Roman through and through. With his seasonal menu, he pays tribute to his origins and the esteemed regional cuisine. Italian classics like pasta amatriciana and carbonara are as much a part of the menu here (which, in homage to Donizetti, is structured along the lines of an opera play) as are unusual fish and meat dishes and inventive dessert creations like chocolate tacos.

At the small British Colonial-style cocktail bar - a semi-ironic accent that runs throughout the design - you'll meet for a refreshing afternoon drink or a superbly mixed nightcap before retiring to your cozy room.

Fitness

The property's elegantly designed gym is a surprisingly spacious plus - especially for a boutique hotel of this size. With top-of-the-line equipment from Technogym, an HD TV, ample space for yoga and other exercises, and a buffet full of fresh fruit and cool drinks, the Maalot's gym exceeds all expectations.
