Hotel Introduction
Hotel Sole al Pantheon has the blessing of holding a prime location: it stands just in front of the Pantheon in the charming Piazza della Rotonda close to Navona square, Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps. In the beginning (1467) there was the 'Ram Inn'. Then came the 'Sun': now Albergo del Sole, one of the oldest hotels in the world was born. A precious piece of antiquity that expert restoration has brought back to its original splendour. An exclusive and intimate hotel far from the city chaos. Quality, courtesy, efficiency and helpfulness are the key-words of the hotel.
Every morning a complimentary newspaper will be offer directly to your room. Our guests will enjoy their buffet breakfast on our special internal roof.
Hotel del Sole al Pantheon has been meticulously restored, faithfully reflecting its 15th century heritage. The bedrooms are each individual in decor but similar in mood, with colour-coordinated bedspreads and draperies. Choose between single, double comfort, double superior, Mascagni, Ariosto, Federico III Junior Suites and our lovely Suite Annex. Amenities: air conditioning, tv sat, minibar, safety box, hairdryer and telephone with direct line
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. Look out for the ‘montone’ (mouton, an Alpine goat) who gave his name to the original hotel on this site, founded in 1467. As the symbol of the hotel, his triplet of curled horns peep out from the silver-plated lobby furniture, from lampshades in the bar and on items of furniture in some rooms.
In the summer, the sumptuous breakfast buffet is served on the restaurant's terrace. A Bar with 'Happy Hour' in the early evening and the 'American Bar' till late, offers a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. From the late afternoon, light snacks and refreshments turn the bar into a cozy coffee shop.
