Fodor's Expert Review Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Rome

Located in Rome's historic downtown district, the Hawthorn Suites is housed in a beautifully renovated 1890s warehouse with original wood floors, brick walls, and a large skylit atrium. The hotel offers spacious studios, suites, and lofts—some with balconies and river views. Perhaps the most unique thing about the hotel is the variety of room configurations, designed to keep the historic character of the building intact. It certainly doesn't feel like a cookie-cutter chain, and its close proximity to shops, restaurants, and Rome's riverfront parks can't be beat. The hotel even loans out bicycles so you can leave your car parked if you'd like. A generous hot breakfast, included in the rate, is served each morning.
