Rome is a city that tells its story through its cuisine and Barceló Roma is the capital’s new destination for fine dining.
Close to Vatican City and well connected to Fiumicino Airport
The new Barceló Roma takes its inspiration as a place designed to welcome the contemporary traveller, but also to open up to the city, transforming the kitchen into a meeting point for culture, hospitality and conviviality. Strategically located a short distance from Vatican City and well connected to Fiumicino Airport, the new hotel from the Spanish Barceló group is one of the most exciting openings of the year. Following a major refurbishment, the hotel has 352 guestrooms and suites, spacious areas dedicated to events and conferences, a swimming pool, and contemporary and elegant interiors, but what truly sets it apart is the gastronomic concept, designed as an integral part of a stay.Chef Alfonso González Martín helms the kitchen
At the helm of the culinary team is Alfonso González Martín, a chef and manager with over twenty years’ international experience. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with leading figures in haute cuisine, developing a philosophy centred on respect for ingredients and tradition, whilst maintaining a modern vision of hospitality. The result is a culinary offering that speaks Italian - or rather, Roman - yet with an outlook open to the world.
Culinary journeys across Italy from north to south
The stars of this culinary journey are the hotel’s two restaurants, La Dolce Vita and Vesuvio Buffet. The former is the à la carte restaurant, where regional Italian cuisine finds its highest expression through dishes prepared with carefully selected ingredients and meticulous preparation. The latter, meanwhile, offers a daily journey through traditional flavours and recipes, giving guests the chance to savour different specialities every day, in keeping with the seasons. The menu pays homage to the great classics of Italian cuisine. Pasta naturally remains the star of the show, prepared according to the chef’s inspiration, on a culinary journey that takes you across Italy from north to south. Meat dishes are complemented by seafood options, and the gastronomic journey concludes with some of the most iconic desserts of Italian pastry-making: all accompanied by a wine list that prioritises Italian excellence.
There is also a food truck and a handy market
The B-Lounge welcomes guests with a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for a coffee or an aperitif, and in the warmer months the Breeze Pool Bar is for snacks and moments of relaxation by the pool, while a food truck for casual al fresco dining and the B-Market are always on hand to satisfy any culinary cravings.
