Grand Hotel Plaza, Rome, Lazio, Italy

• Terrazo heaven: The beautifully ornate Grand Hotel Plaza boasts a verdant terraced garden from which to admire the capital’s iconic monuments from your central location. Elegant recliners, fresh flowers and abundant greenery make for a truly idyllic scene to enjoy an al-fresco coffee, flick through a magazine or watch the sun set over the Eternal City.

• Classical Roman glamour: Swan across the polished floors under dazzling chandeliers, extravagant frescoes, and ornate stucco décor as if you’re on a movie scene; indeed, you can spot the hotel in some classic Italian cinema and even modern Hollywood movies. Guestrooms ensure the plush comfort of five-star luxury, whilst preserving old gilded detail and elegant period furniture.

• Exquisite dining: Tuck into a breakfast fit for royalty in the historic lounge, and savour wonderful Italian cuisine from a seasonal menu in the restaurant’s refined atmosphere, with crisp white tablecloths and tapestries that speak of a time long gone. Opt for an afternoon tea in the ballroom or settle into the sleek bistro bar for your aperitivo or evening tipple.
