팔라초 탈리아 - 스몰 럭셔리 호텔즈 오브 더 월드

I would like to write a review and explain situation that happened with this hotel in hopes it will not ruin someone else's vacation in future. I booked this hotel on 8-15-24 using my hotel honors points and was confirmed and booked for 3 night stay May 8-11. I randomly received email today about 2 weeks before my dream vacation to Rome from Hilton stating this hotel has cancelled my reservation without any reason noted. I would think hotel management would not allow anything like this to ever happen. I am awaiting a response email to find out why a hotel would ever allow this to happen. My chances of finding another hotel like this one and location is not even possible at this point. My entire trip to Rome was planned around staying at this hotel and unacceptable to be cancelled 14 days before arrival.

As a city, Rome is a feast for your senses. The imposing ancient sites, flavorful gelato bursting on your tongue, the sound of thousands of feet on cobblestones, feeling that you're part of history -- it has everything for everyone, almost overwhelmingly so. But if you're looking for calm in the storm, a place that has style, grace, and oozes luxury in the best way look no further than Palazzo Talia. Recently opened, Palazzo Talia is really more than just a place to stay it is the best modern example of a 5-star hotel I have found in recent memory. It's just a few minutes away from the Trevi Foundation and the city center. Of course, the hotel is teeming with history, it was a school of nobility, and that sense of history is displayed in gorgeous frescos, marble busts and so much more. However, referential to history this is a modern hotel. The bathrooms are large with brilliant lighting, the decor is elegant and innovative but not fussy; the food (more on that later) is fresh, delicious and worth staying in the hotel for. We couldn't believe the incredibly Instagramable hotel bar wasn't filled to the max every night, but given more time I have no doubt this is going to be a new "hot spot" in town. There are a few things the hotel could work on. There needs to be way more storage in the bathroom for toiletries and hooks for clothes. A full-length mirror in the bedroom would be welcome as well. The elevator was having an issue but seemed to be resolved by the time we left, and we had a small miscommunication with a food order -- but all these were minor issues. Given all of that -- what makes Palazzo Talia truly remarkable, what makes the difference in any 5-star hotel, is the staff. "G" is a no-nonsense female General Manager running the show and it shows! You will just as likely see her encouraging the young staff as you are seeing her greeting guests or rolling up her sleeves to get something done. I still think of Chef Marco Coppola's ravioli to this day. His kitchen is putting out some of the best meals that we had in Rome, and he and his team are kind, patient, provide excellent service, and will give you the best recommendations. Truly, the entire team at Palazzo Talia is top notch, everyone working together to make this hotel great and to make your stay unforgettable. And it was, unforgettable.
