Art Deco furnishings and decor will surround you during your stay at Hotel Lord Byron. RELATED LINKS City Guide Rome

If you want to immerse yourself in the action, the elegant Hotel Lord Byron in a quiet upscale residential district north of the Villa Borghese is not the place to stay. The 28 rooms and nine suites are decorated in impeccable 1930s art deco style, and Wine Spectator magazine has ranked the hotel's intimate Sapori del Lord Byron dining room among the city's top restaurants.

Some guest rooms are on the small side, and a jog through the nearby Villa Borghese Gardens is the closest thing you'll find to a fitness center, but the tranquil surroundings and attentive service can make the Lord Byron an appealing alternative to Rome's larger luxury hotels.

Published rates for double rooms with breakfast begin at 305 Euros plus 10 percent V.A.T, and if you book a minimum of three nights, the hotel will include a one-way airport transfer in a private car. Before booking, ask about special deals and packages, and remember to budget some extra Euros for taxi rides between the hotel and Rome's major tourist attractions.
