Overview

Location. Exedra stands directly on the Piazza della Repubblica across from the Repubblica Metro station in Rome, Italy. The ancient Roman ruins of the Diocletian Baths and St. Mary of the Angels church frame this unique property.
Hotel Features. The lobby glows with rich furnishings, white-columned walls, vaulted ceilings and subtle lighting. La Frusta, a restaurant designed by Adam Tihany, combines historic ambience with 21st-century vibrancy. Tazio Brasserie is adorned with snapshots of Tazio Secchiaroli, the forefather of paparazzi photography. The hotel houses a champagne bar lit with red and blue lights and distinguished by cascading crystal chandeliers. High tech meets history in the business center and function rooms that feature ancient stone walls and glass floors where the mosaic floors of the Diocletian Baths are visible below. Meeting rooms can accommodate up to 250 guests. The hotel's Exedra Wellness Spa offers chromotherapy and revitalizing and purifying herbal teas and massages. Saunas, steam baths, a solarium and spa tubs offer relaxing retreats. The spa adjoins a rooftop pool that offers panoramic views of the city. Additional property amenities include transportation to Leonardo da Vinci International Airport for a fee and Town Car rentals.

Guestrooms. The hotel's 236 guestrooms offer two-toned crocodile-leather headboards accented by golden-brocade bedspreads and curtains. Rooms afford views of the Piazza della Repubblica or the Monti surroundings. Private bathrooms vary in size, but all feature marble walls, floors and counters. Room amenities include satellite television and dial-up Internet access. Minibars are available in all accommodations.

Expert Tip. This hotel occupies a central location near some of Rome's most beautiful churches. The Saint Mary Major Basilica is located right down the street. Across the street is the stunning St. Mary of the Angels church.

Exedra, A Boscolo Luxury Hotel Central Station

A short guide to Central Station

Rome’s central train station, Termini is the entry point to the city from Fiumicino Airport, and is an impressive modern architectural sight. Between here and glamorous Via Veneto, there are several interesting places to visit. The Palazzo Barberini is a superb baroque palace, the Terme di Diocleziano was the city’s largest bath complex and the Church of Santa Maria della Concezione is remarkable for its Capuchin monks’ crypt.

Booked hotel for facilities such as rooftop swimming pool. When we got there the pool and restuarnt were all shut. Very dissappointing. Also find the bar or restuarant at the hotel was a problem. People very nice - good consieges. Room was very clean and nicely decorated.

Reviewed by L of Shropshire on Dec 12, 2007

Our stay at the Exedra truly was a memorable one! The room although it was only a classic room was quite spectacular. Padded walls! a ceiling that was at least 20 foot high and a bed big enough to get lost in! The staff were lovely and really helpful apart from one receptionist who was ever so slightly condescending. We walked the length and breadth of Rome and did not see a more impressive hotel than this one. will definately be back but perhaps next time in the summer.

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Dec 31, 2008

The Exedra Hotel is outstanding especially for it's location in Rome--which is near many great small restaurants, the train station and the Metro which can get you anywhere. The concierge service was always prompt, and full service, with maps and additional information to help you, including walking directions.

Reviewed by C of Ireland on Dec 10, 2008

The Exedra was a great location to stay at! It was in the heart of Rome and very close to everything. There was a metro line just outside the hotel that took you to every sightseeing spot. The hotel is located next to the main shopping street, Via Nazionale and there are lots of great restaurants within an easy walking distance. Notably, La Cucina - this is a fabulous little restaurant and is located on Via Nazionale. The interior and exterior of the hotel was very impressive! Our room had very high ceilings and a little balconette overlooking the streets of Rome. The one fault with the bedroom was the bed. It was a double bed but with two single matresses, which was quite uncomfortable. The conceirge at the hotel were extremely helpful and overall it was a hotel with a fantastic location and very friendly staff.

we stayed at this hotel in September 2008 the website advertised it as having a pool and all other amenities you expect a five star hotel to have in fact when we arrived the hotel's pool was being renovated as was much of the hotel - if we knew that before we booked we would have stayed elsewhere. The website if very mislaeding also there are no restaurants/ no lobby to sit in and watch the world go by (important in times of bad weather)

Not recommended Trip type: With Friends "Overpriced"

Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Apr 10, 2008

Exedra is advertised as a 5-star hotel, which is far from expectation. The hotel has beautiful decor. However, the customer service is lacking and amenities fall way short. They don't have wireless internet access in thehotel. I had to stand outside the front door for 5 minutes to have someone help me and my pregnant wife with our bags. You often get no answer when calling the front desk from your room. The breakfast buffet is way overpriced ($40 Euro/person). For the money, this place is not worth it.

Reviewed by Oliver of Los Angeles on Apr 9, 2008

This is a great hotel but for the amount of money paid and for claiming to be a 5 star hotel, it greatly suffers in courtesy service. There are no door men. There is no WiFi service. The gym is tiny. The advertising pictures are misleading. The rooms are much smaller than advertised. There are no hot tubs in the room. It is very clean however.

Dejligt flot og velholdt 5 stjernet hotel i Rom med god beliggenhed nær Termini og Metro lige uden for døren. Pool og tagterrasse var desværre under renovering og kunne ikke benyttes i en uge. Jeg fik dog flot service og kompensation. Super checket behandling! Kan kun anbefale dette hotel til alle andre der ønsker et dejligt sted at bo i Rom.
