Fodor's Expert Review T Hotel

In the vicinity of Parco di Monte Claro, about a 15-minute taxi or bus ride from Cagliari's center, this trendy hotel offers contemporary styling and upscale guest rooms in a 15-floor circular tower with sweeping city views. What feels like a business-hotel lobby leads to a full-service bistro, restaurant, and bar defined by a striking upside-down cone. The outdoor courtyard is decked out with reflecting pools, plant pots glowing rainbow colors, and an oversize video screen. The 207 spacious, soundproof rooms are impeccably designed with Philippe Starck furnishings and equipped with modern bathrooms. The T Wellness Centre comes with a hydrotherapy pool, steam bath, and herbal tea salon. Friendly and attentive staff serve excellent breakfasts, refreshments, and international cuisine year-round, making this lively hotel a popular gathering spot for locals.
