Mecenate Palace Hotel

The name Mecenate has in time become a synonym of 'talent scout' and patron of the artists. The Hotel was named after him because it was right here on the Esquiline Hill that Mecenate lived, surrounded by his poet, writer, mime, actor and musician friends. The Mecenate Palace Hotel comprises two adjacent buildings: the one by Rinaldi overlooking Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore dates from 1887; the other on via Carlo Alberto was built a few years later. Renovation work was carefully planned to restore the building's facades and the romantic interiors to their original splendour. With its 62 rooms, meeting room for 40 persons, panoramic roof garden and garage parking, the Mecenate Palace Hotel combines efficient service with a cordial personalised welcome. Step inside the splendid hall and be charmed by the old-world atmosphere of an historic Roman palazzo. From the dazzling marble hall, step into a guest room overlooking the breathtaking facade of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore. The Mecenate Palace is located in Rome's historical centre, just a step away from the Forum, Colosseum and Opera House, with convenient public transport to shopping and business centres such as Barberini, Bissolati, Condotti and Spanish Steps areas.
