Rome: Room with a view
I've researched dozens of apartments and visited what feels like a hundred hotel websites and am still undecided. So far, the Grand Hotel de la Minerva stands out, largely because of the stunning view, especially from the rooftop bar/restaurant. Which hotels have your favorite views, preferably in the Piazza Navona/Campo di Fiore/Pantheon areas?

"Stunning view" at the Minerva? You might get a fair view of the Bernini elephant and the back of the Pantheon if you have a north facing room, but I wouldn't call those stunning. The west facing rooms at the Del Senato do have a stunning view of the front of the Pantheon, as would the south facing rooms at the Albergo Abruzzi. The Regina Baglioni is a lovely old world style hotel, no views to speak of, and its location on the Via Veneto is not as central as the other hotels I've mentioned; but unlike many posters, I've never found the Via Veneto to be inconvenient.

What about the Hotel Abbruzi, it certainly has a good view of the Pantheon.
Hope it is a good hotel, we have reserved 2 rooms there Nov 1st for 4 nights.
Have been to Rome lots of times, but the first time at this hotel.

Thanks Grinisa. I visited the Minerva website photographs and the photos of the view certainly fit my definition of stunning. Determined to overcome my hurt feelings (I have a special affection for elephants)I looked up Abergo del Senato. I forgive you. You are absolutely right, the views are even more spectacular. Thanks.
Del, I'm on my way to check out the Abruzzi. Have a wonderful trip!
