The hotel has a large terrace that offers a panoramic view of Rome.
The museum is accessible to the hotel guests. This is a unique
property in a historical location which offers a special
atmosphere. The easy way to get there is to get the metro from
Termini station (LINE A) and walk about 5-10 minutes from there.
The No. 649 bus from Termini station to Piazza Santa Croce also
services the area.
Exterior: This monastery has now been adapted as a 3-storey hotel
building. The hotel is set inside the Santa Croce in Gerusalemme
Basilica. The hotel is built on the top of the house of Wueen
Elena. The entrance is at the side of the Basilica entrance.
Lobby: The lobby is medium in size and reproduces the original
features of the monastery/museum, with its high walls and massive
paintings. The seating area recalls the simple life of the monks,
where the dominant material was iron. Flowers and plants help to
create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Rooms
Rooms are quite large and luminous, with tall ceilings and floors
made of terracotta tiles. The style is simple, and most of the
furnishings are made of iron, but the colours and the texture of
the fabric, together with hand-crafted objects coming from the
treasure of the monastery, make the bedrooms look attractive and
comfortable. Rooms offer all the modern comforts. Both bedrooms and
bathrooms are in excellent condition.
Restaurant & Food
There is a large restaurant available for groups only.
