Hotel Palazzo Manfredi
L' Hotel Palazzo Manfredi si trova di fronte al Colosseo, nell'ambito dell'area archeologica del Ludus Magnus: l'antica palestra dei gladiatori realizzata dai Flavi dopo la morte di Nerone. Il prestigioso albergo ha sede nel casino Guidi, la cinquecentesca rimessa di caccia che si trovava all'interno del giardino della famiglia omonima. La zona era infatti animata da orti e da giardini, splendido contorno di alcune delle piω belle Ville della Roma Imperiale, Rinascimentale e Barocca. Qui vollero la propria residenza suburbana papa Sisto V, papa Clemente X Altieri e Vincenzo Giustiniani, affascinati dalla suggestiva presenza delle antiche rovine circondate dalla vegetazione spontanea della campagna romana. Le piante di Roma del Settecento parlano di una cittΰ circondata da un'ampia cintura di verde e di Ville, entro le mura e al di fuori di esse, in gran parte distrutte alla fine dell'Ottocento per far posto alle costruzioni di Roma Capitale. Il casino Guidi, restaurato nel Settecento, θ uno splendido esempio superstite, con i suoi prospetti spartiti verticalmente da lesene e ritmati da finestre con cornici modanate, arricchito da una decorazione di stucchi disposti tra le finestre e sotto al cornicione; quest'ultimo θ sotteso dalla scritta: Omnia ab uno Virtute Comit - Fortuna Ducet (la sorte ci conduce, la virtω ci accompagna). Nell'AD MMII il Conte Ing. Goffredo Manfredi ha trasformato questo splendido edifico in un albergo di lusso denominato Hotel Gladiatori Palazzo Manfredi, oggi Hotel Palazzo Manfredi. Il vero fiore all'occhiello dell'hotel θ rappresentato dalla loggia panoramica, dalla quale si puς godere di un'irrinunciabile vista sulla cittΰ eterna: proprio al centro di un triangolo magico, fra il Colosseo, la Domus Aurea di Nerone e i Fori Imperiali, fino a scorgere la cupola di San Pietro. Il piano seminterrato dello stabile si presenta di particolare interesse, include infatti la continuazione degli scavi dell'area archeologia del Ludus Magnus. Le lussuose camere con vista sul Colosseo e sulla Domus Aurea si distinguono per la ricercatezza degli arredi, la cura dei dettagli e l'accostamento di elementi classici e di design moderno.
The Palazzo Manfredi Hotel is located in front of the Coliseum, within the archaeological site of the Ludus Magnus: the ancient gladiatorial training school was built on behest of the Flavis after Nero's death. The prestigious hotel has its residence in the Guidi casino, the 16th century hunting shed which was located inside the garden of the homonymous family. The area was in fact embellished by vegetable pitches and gardens, the spellbinding edging of some of the most beautiful Villas of the Imperial, Renaissance and Baroque Rome. Pope Sixtus V, Pope Clement X Altieri and Vincenzo Giustiniani all wanted their suburban residence here, as they were all fascinated by the presence of ancient ruins surrounded by the spontaneous vegetation of the Roman countryside. The plants of Rome in 18th century tell the tale of a city surrounded by a wide green belt and Villas, within the walls and out of them, which were mainly destroyed at the end of 19th century in order to make room for the buildings of Rome as Capital. The casino Guidi, restored in 18th century, is a magnificent extant example, with its elevations vertically divided by pilasters and by windows with moulded cornices, enriched by stucco decorations placed among the windows and underneath the moulding; the latter is underlined by the inscription: Omnia ab uno Virtute Comit - Fortuna Ducet (fate shows us the way, virtue accompanies us ). In 2002 the engineer Count Goffredo Manfredi has transformed this magnificent building into a luxury hotel called Gladiatori Palazzo Manfredi Hotel, now Palazzo Manfredi Hotel. The true flagship of the hotel is represented by the panoramic balcony, from where one can enjoy a truly not to be missed view over the eternal city: right in the centre of a magic triangle, among the Coliseum, Nero's Domus Aurea and the Imperial Forums, as far as revealing Saint Peter's Dome. The basement of the building is particularly interesting, as it includes the progress of the excavation works of the archaeological area of the Ludus Magnus. The luxurious rooms with a view of the Coliseum and the Domus Aurea stand out because of their refined furnishings, the attention to detail and the juxtaposition of classical elements and modern design.
