Profile
|
 In the beginning there was the "Locanda del Montone". And then came the "Sole". And so the Albergo del Sole, one of the oldest hotels in the world, was born. A hotel as old as the famous piazza it overlooks.
A precious piece of antiquity that expert restoration has brought back to its original splendour. A tradition of hospitality lost in history, first depicted in 1467, and later evoked and passed by distinguished travellers throughout the centuries. |
 Travellers like the poet Ariosto who entrusted his memories to the magic of his poetry, the philosopher Jean Paul Sartre who was a frequent guest along with Simone de Beauvoir or Friederick Nietzsche.
The hotel was retreat and meeting place for emperors and sorcerers (visit the suites of Frederick III of Hasburg and of Cagliostro) and a witness to important moments (the opera composer Mascagni celebrated the premier of "Cavalleria Rusticana" here). |
 The Hotel del Sole al Pantheon has remained faithful to its calling, that of a gracious inn. Exclusive and intimate, far from the city's chaos and still so very near its richness and its heart.
A hotel where the seduction of a suggestive, unique and inimitable ambience can be found in every detail. A hotel with pride in the past which the present has brought to many. Or to very few. |
 As you enter you are welcomed in an attractive long, narrow lobby with arched ceiling, red-tiled floor, whitewashed walls and a very large, ornately framed antique oil painting over the reception desk.
From the lobby, doors lead into the various lounges, which maintain the same elegantly simple, uncluttered look with white walls, white upholstered chairs and sofas, and antique accent pieces. One floor up is the lovely interior garden-patio which opens onto an intimate breakfast room. |
