Bernini Bristol - A Sina Hotel

Location. The Hotel Bernini Bristol in Rome, Italy, is a classical luxury hotel located in the center of Rome. The trickling of water from the 17th century Triton Fountain sets the ambience as guests walk toward the hotel, which was founded in 1870. Principal leisure and business destinations in Rome are within a few blocks, including the Fontana Di Trevi, Via Del Corso (Rome's most important shopping street), and the 17th century Villa Borghese Gardens.
Hotel Features. The Hotel Bernini Bristol's lobby features marble floors, 19th century tapestries, Murano chandeliers and antique furnishings. The Restaurant L'Olimpo offers alfresco dining on its terraces, and Executive Chef Michele Simioli brings 40 years of Italian high kitchen cooking to tables as Rome's ancient cityscape looms dramatically in the background. The concierge is ready to arrange room service around the clock, hire a limousine, coordinate secretarial services or ring a boutique to check on a dress size. Five meeting rooms can accommodate up to 100 people. The Sirenuse Fitness Club features a sauna, steam bath, spa tub and gymnasium. The Bristol American Bar hosts live piano music and serves cocktails and afternoon tea.

Guestrooms. A look inside the Hotel Bernini Bristol's 127 guestrooms helps to visualize the decadence of classical Rome. Period furniture, gold fabric walls with braid trim, antique rugs, brocade wall coverings, and Carrara and Alpine green marble in bathrooms tells of an obsessive relationship with beauty that has defined Rome through the ages. All guestrooms are equipped with Internet access.

Expert Tip. The Triton Fountain was designed by Bernini, who also designed the colonnade in the center of Basilica di San Pietro in the Vatican.
