Radisson SAS es. Hotel review Rate it
Built on the site of an ancient Roman plebeian cemetery (findings are displayed in the excavation area by the entrance), this 'concept' hotel today caters for an altogether different clientele: mainly business clients - who don't baulk at the rather unpromising location, next to a multi-storey car park and opposite the train station - and diehard design fans. The rooftop - more LA than Rome - is a vast decked area with trendy bar and pool. In the all-white rooms, the bed is set on a low platform, divided from the bathroom by a glass screen; the only splash of colour in sight is the green, turf-effect rugs. Taken over by Radisson a few years ago, there's been no change in the hotel's original image, and its extreme minimalism is starting to feel a little dated.
