At the top of the Spanish Steps with a commanding view of Rome, The Hotel Hassler is one of the great classic hotels of Europe.
Not sure whether it was the hotel equivalent of a mistake fare, but I was fortunate to find an amazing online deal on the Hassler website, a prepaid Classic Suite that was priced less than a Jr. Suite and not much more than a Deluxe Room. I then received a further 40% discount when I called Citi Concierge and used their 4th night free offer, as the 4th night was the most expensive night of our stay. Our luck continued at check-in as we were upgraded to a 6th floor suite with a view of the city.
Although the matchy matchy furniture and wallpaper was a bit of a sensory overload.
After we settled in, we headed downstairs for a drink and something to eat, at the elegant Salone Eva.
We both had the wonderful Amatriciana style mezzi rigatoni pasta and a glass of Brunello.
OMG... sensational.
