Serious though it may be, the Hotel de Rome doesn t lack for style; magisterial reds and blues liven

We select, you rate. Scores are on a 20-point cruise to the bahamas scale, and they're assigned by our members who actually stayed there. If a hotel's rating falls below 16, it's gone so your post-stay review is actually our most important quality-control tool. Thanks for that.
It doesn t get much heavier than the Hotel de Rome, a converted 19th-century bank building off the Bebelplatz in old East Berlin — its stone walls and neoclassical architecture are a perfect match for the high seriousness of the Rocco Forte house style. This hotel is set to become the lodging cruise to the bahamas of choice for business-class visitors, and may well see more deals done as a hotel than it did during its tenure as the GDR s central bank.
Serious though it may be, the Hotel de Rome doesn t lack for style; magisterial reds and blues liven a palette of stone neutrals, and the pool and spa down in the vault, fittingly, are decked out in green and gold. In-room appointments are first-class, and for this audience nothing less would suffice: flat-panel HDTV televisions, sound systems (even in the vast mosaic marble bathrooms) and wired internet access, this last just the price you pay for those heavy old stone walls.
This is a hotel that clearly knows its market; with many guests traveling on the company dime, no expense is spared, and as a result the services (and the service) are impeccable. What s rare is that the Hotel de Rome manages all this without feeling stuffy — it s a fine line between serious and uptight, but it s a line that, here, doesn t get crossed.
Not much the hotel can do about this, but location was not quite as good as I thought it would be. It's generally in a good area, but doesn't seem to be much within a few blocks so can't really walk out the door into any action.
It was stunning. Its location amoungst the historic buildings was unique and appealing, quiet and yet extremely well located. The attention to decor detail was beautiful, contemporarily classic with with unexpected touches. The height of the ceilings in all public spaces and in the guestrooms assed to the elegance.
