Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome
Rome, Italy · Anantara · Grand Luxury
Gaetano Koch's neoclassical twin on Piazza della Repubblica traces the ancient exedra of the Baths of Diocletian, and glass in the basement still frames their ruins. A wing once served as Pope Clement XI's 1705 grain store. Adam D. Tihany and Maurizio Papiri redesigned the interiors, and Tazio Restaurant and Bar salute paparazzo Tazio Secchiaroli, the real-life spark for Fellini's La Dolce Vita. The rooftop pool looks straight onto the largest Roman bath complex ever built.

History
A 19th-century palace on Piazza della Repubblica facing the Fountain of the Naiads, originally an Esedra Hotel. Rooftop pool overlooks the Diocletian Baths.
Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome anchors one of Rome's most architecturally dramatic squares: Piazza della Repubblica — formerly Piazza dell'Esedra — whose great curved colonnades by architect Gaetano Koch, completed in 1902, trace the ancient exedra of the Baths of Diocletian, the largest Roman spa complex ever built, constructed between 298 and 306 AD.
The setting
Anantara Palazzo Naiadi Rome anchors one of Rome's most architecturally dramatic squares: Piazza della Repubblica — formerly Piazza dell'Esedra — whose great curved colonnades by architect Gaetano Koch, completed in 1902, trace the ancient exedra of the Baths of Diocletian, the largest Roman spa complex ever built, constructed between 298 and 306 AD. At the heart of the piazza stands Mario Rutelli's bronze Fontana delle Naiadi, while Michelangelo's Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli rises from the thermal ruins opposite. The Trevi Fountain is seventeen minutes on foot and the Roman Forum twenty, placing the hotel at the commanding civic threshold where the ancient city meets the grand 19th-century capital. 2 km from Colosseum.
