Hotel near train station Rome

The 4-star Hotel Massimo D'Azeglio in Rome has a long and colorful history.
In 1875, Maurizio Bettoja bought the ground floor of the building where Hotel Massimo D'Azeglio currently stands, which at the time housed a long-established restaurant. Maurizio Bettoja's son Angelo had a feeling that it would be an ideal location for a hotel. After hiring a manager and staff, he bought the rest of the building and transformed it into Hotel Massimo D'Azeglio.

Since then, the hotel has welcomed guests of all nationalities into a building that - in spite of its many renovations - has been able to hold onto its late nineteenth century atmosphere and style. The main façade has kept the same look as it had under King Umberto, while its interiors have undergone many changes.

Hotel Massimo D'Azeglio's many guests have included the King of Serbia, the ace aviator Francesco Baracca, Benito Mussolini, General Diaz, Louis Armstrong, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Fausto Coppi and Mascagni, among others. An important collection of prints and paintings representing those people who were so important during the Risorgimento (the Italian unification movement) hang in the lobby, conference rooms, bar and restaurant.
