Exotic tea blends from China and Japan are on the menu, including Yin Zhen, a rare, white tea and Budda Ama-Cha, an exotic green tea grown near Kyoto.

At night, the hotel’s in-house pianist, Jaffa, plays jazz beneath an 18th-century work of art. Spend a night enjoying the best music, art and culture all in one room. Small bites are also served.

The resort in Rome is in close proximity to some of the Italy’s best cultural and entertainment attractions, and the hotel has incredible views overlooking the entire city. Make sure to book the Penthouse Suite or Planetarium Suite, each with its own private terrace and hot tub.
