Rome Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts

"relaxed and restored at Cavalieri grand spa- massages, sauna, steam, baths and brunch. clean, well appointed showers, locker rooms. comfortable chaise lounges, wanted to stay all day!"

"Amongst the most elegant and understated luxury hotels we have ever stayed. From the moment you walk into the grand reception area to be greeted by the impeccable staff, you know you are on to something special at this place. This was a special trip to celebrate a 50th birthday and I don’t tink we could have picked a better venue. The rooms were well appointed, very spacious and classically designed. If you have a residential view you will likely have a large communications mast in your sights. That wasn’t great - it didn’t spoil our experience and you can always pay extra for a city or pool view room. They outdoor pool area was immaculate and abolition no fighting for sunbeds here. Simply wait for the pool attendants to find and prepare you beds, then enjoy the sun and good vibes. The free shuttle bus into Rome was great - saved circa 25 euros a go on taxis, and was super convenient. Breakfast was an amazing spread of fresh food with lots of choice to suit all tastes. There’s a wing of rhe main lobby dedicated to the hotel’s private art collection, which is worth an estimated £28m. Make sure you check out the Odysseus Finds Achilles Among the Daughters of Lycomedes, painted by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo around 1725. It’s begging tough glass and worth a small fortune. Other things of note - the gym is the best equipped I’ve ever seen in a hotel. The complimentary cans of ice cold water by the pool are a nice touch. The lobby bar is very pleasant - but expect to pay Cavalieri prices for a drink. Same round the pool. 11 euros for a small beer. 16 euros for a bowl of fries. All said, this was the most fantastic hotel and nothing was too much trouble for the staff, We will be back."

"From the minute you get out of the car you are greeted right away and you just know that you will be pampered after long days of walking and seeing the sites. The hotel is under a little remodeling but you barely know they are working. The rooms are spacious, even the regular rooms which I had using my points. The staff goes out of their way to make you feel at home. Always asking if you need anything or just a small conversation while waiting for the shuttle. The shuttle is a nice perk since you are quite way away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The only thing I would change is that the shuttle times to pick you up were a bit later since you’ll have to get a taxi if you want to eat in the city after 6:30pm and believe me the Taxi or Uber are a bit pricey. The pool is amazing and it came in nice since it was so hot and you even get to use the indoor pool later in the day. The attendants are great and you always have a cold drink when needed. If you work out, the fitness room will have everything you need. Don’t skip breakfast. It was the highlight of the day. So much to choose from and the staff were amazing. If you want to relax and enjoy some peace and quiet book a room, take a walk around the grounds. This place was just what I needed. Thank you to all the staff. If I come back you will definitely see me again."
