Radisson Blu es.

Monti, Esquilino & San Lorenzo


The location and architecture may not be the most attractive (unless proximity to Stazione Termini is essential), but this behemoth of a business hotel woos nonetheless with its design-conscious decor and hi-tech gadgetry. Its major draw is the summer-fab rooftop pool (open May to September) and cocktail bar; other facilities include a spa and gym. A buffet breakfast costs €15.
