Beds with a massage function are not something you see every day: the Hotel Augusta Lucilla Palace Rome has them in its rooms. It is a 4-star hotel in an 18th-century building on Via Massimo D’Azeglio, near Termini station and the Opera House.
Location and getting around
You walk to Termini in about 5 minutes. According to the hotel, Repubblica Metro station is a similar distance away and the Teatro dell’Opera is a few steps off. On foot, the Roman Forum, the Colosseum and the Trevi Fountain are about 20 minutes away.
Rooms and facilities
The beds are adjustable, with a variable massage function, and have viscoelastic mattresses and pillows. The rooms have air conditioning, satellite TV and free wifi; some have tapestries and paintings in the decor.
There is a rooftop terrace, with views of the city, and a bar for a drink when you get back. According to the hotel, reception is open 24 hours. Breakfast is a buffet and is served every morning; the hotel does not list a restaurant for lunch or dinner, so for that you will need to look outside.
Who it suits
- Anyone who ends days of sightseeing with a sore back and values a good bed.
- Opera fans who want the theatre next door.
- Travellers who arrive by train and are looking for something near Termini.
- Anyone who wants to see the city from above without paying for a viewpoint.
