Description
See more detailsLocation. The baroque-style Turner Hotel is housed in a former 19th-century palace and lies 200 metres from Porta Pia Square, which connects the Via Nomentana shopping district to the ancient sights of Rome's city centre. Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) is 25 kilometres away, around 40 minutes by car.
Hotel Features. Marble floors, gold crown moulding, chandeliers, and damask wallpaper adorn the sitting room where guests may watch television or browse complimentary newspapers on velvet sofas. Guests can start the day with a continental breakfast (surcharge), and drinks are served in the bar.
A fitness centre, Venice Gym, featuring cardiovascular classes and machines and weight machines is 200 metres from Turner Hotel and guests may purchase a daily ticket. Dabliu Parioli, one kilometre from the hotel is a full-service health centre with swimming pool, sauna and steam room, aerobics and spinning classes, and weight and cardiovascular machines.
Guestrooms. The hotel was formerly a noble's palace and the 47 guestrooms are spread over five floors. Antique furnishings, damask wallpaper, and chandeliers adorn each opulent room, and high windows are dressed with long damask drapes. All rooms come with air conditioning, minibars, satellite television, direct dial phones, safes, and hair dryers.
Expert Tip. The innovative architectural design of Porta Pia Square, 200 metres away, was commissioned to Michelangelo by Pope Pio IV Medici in 1561 and shows a transition from Renaissance to Baroque style. Only Michelangelo's design for the internal façade was executed, and popular belief is that the symbols allude to Pio's origins not from the famous Florentine family but from a family of Milanese barbers.
