Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome Hotel
Imperial residency at Platz der Republik
08/08/2024 Reading time: 2 Minutes
Dinner at INEO and a visit to the cellar, where you can admire parts of the Diocletian Baths under glass floors and feel like you're in a private museum.
As is well known, all roads lead to Rome. Almost all of them lead to Piazza della Repubblica, perhaps one of the most impressive, but certainly the most central squares in the Italian capital with its magnificent fountain, stone basilica, remains of the Baths of Diocletian and the Palazzo Naiadi - a former aristocratic residence, behind whose thick walls the Anantara has resided since 2021.
"Buongiorno, Signore Bertram. Your room is 253. We wish you a pleasant stay". Was it perhaps the cold charm of all that marble that made the greeting seem a little undercooled and impersonal? I don't know. You can definitely do it that way. But you can also offer a welcoming glass instead, then lead the way through the long corridors and, once you arrive in the impressive duplex suite with bed on the gallery floor, explain the numerous features.
The warm welcome and the consistently charming service over seven courses in the hotel's own fine dining restaurant INEO are completely different. It is the realm of head chef Heros de Agostinis, who loves to take his guests on culinary journeys. The starter (mackerel with fermented cucumber, wasabi, yuzu, nashi pear and jalapeño), for example, takes you "from Japan to Mexico through the Mediterranean Sea" and definitely deserves the Michelin star he is aiming for.
Japanese-Italian-Brazilian fusion cuisine is on offer at "SEEN by Olivier". Like the adjoining rooftop bar and the infinity pool, which is unfortunately closed in winter, it is located on the roof of the Palazzo. You can also get very close to heaven in the legendary Anantara Spa, where ancient bathing rituals meet Asian healing arts.
