The Hilton occupies the high ground across the Tiber from central Rome and the view is incredible. As the first destination on our vacation it was a nice introduction to Rome.

Shortly after checking in, we unpacked and headed for the rooftop. Even my little digital camera captured some cool shots of the Vatican, the Colosseum and other sites.

For travellers that prefer an American-style hotel, this will impress. The decor reflects the pricey nature of the hotel with plenty of sculpture and art. And yes the air-conditioning will keep you comfortable on the hottest of Roman summer days.

Having said all that, I have to qualify the remainder of this opinion. I don't travel to other countries to stay in an American-style hotel! I like a little more "local" to my surroundings. And my definition of local does not exactly include designer label shops in the lobby. Nor does it include outrageous charges for simple phone calls necessitated by airline baggage handling misadventures.

The staff are warm and friendly, but they were of little help... especially the concierge (gee, I thought that's why they were there, to help).

Did we enjoy our two night stay? It was okay, but I'm glad it was only two nights. The Hilton provides a free shuttle from the hotel to Barberini Square at the end of the Via Veneto shopping district, but that's about the only amenity provided at no cost. And when you think about it, it's a not cost amenity to put you closer to high cost shopping. So where's the benefit.

If your budget can handle it, and you want the security of staying at a large hotel with an international staff that is well-stocked with English language speakers, book the Rome Cavalieri. Just don't try to tell your friends that you had the full "Italian experience" staying there. My advice would be to find a smaller hotel or albergo in the city, and come over some evening right before sunset - for dinner and photos. Close

We were on the 8th floor due to my husband's diamond rewards and the view of the Vatican and city couldn't have been more beautiful. They shot fireworks on the weekend which were super nice and were great about taking care of their guests. Great ...Read more

The rooms were luxurious and well-presented. Ask for a room on the side that looks over the city. The staff are fabulous, and all speak multiple languages, making the stay easy. They overlook the city and the Vatican, which is fantastic at night. If ...Read more
