Nestled in the quietness of a private park, Grand Hotel Palazzo della Fonte is a 5 star / luxury resort overlooking the pristine hills of Fiuggi, a renown SPA destination only 1 hour from Rome & Fiumicino International Airport. Majestic, elegant, unique in its liberty style, the hotel was built to be the most elegant and modern in Europe. After opening in 1913, it became the most fashionable meeting place for the high society as well as a favourite destination for the European aristocracy. In 1914, the King of Italy Vittorio Emanuele III along with the royal family chose the Palazzo as a summer residence. In 2008, the Palazzo was recognised by the Italian Ministry of Heritage and Culture as a "palace worthy of protection and conservation as an important example of Italian hotels and spa tourism business." Totally renovated in its liberty style, the 153 rooms at the Grand Hotel Palazzo della Fonte are exceptionally spacious, superbly lit by natural light. Refined and sober, decorated with floral motifs in different colours and shades, the rooms radiate the warm sunshine and vital energy of the surrounding nature. The luxuriant Mediterranean scrub and deeply rooted culinary traditions of Ciociaria create a perfect union for organic, local products and natural flavours. At Palazzo all dishes are inspired to the authenticity of our land’s peasant cookery, adapted by the experimentation and international knowledge of our Executive Chef Francesco Marino. To initiate the guests to a state of deep relaxation, the Fonte SPA facilities of the Hotel include Turkish baths, saunas, multi-jet showers, hydro-tubs, Jacuzzi, relax room, indoor heated pool, and outdoor pool. The Palazzo offers also 16 spacious meeting rooms, all flooded with natural daylight, fully equipped with up-to-date technology and wi-fi connection. To ensure greater comfort and privacy, the exclusive use of the hotel may be requested also for Weddings. Member of the LHW.
