Hotel Raphaël

Hotel Raphael is green from the outside in, pairing the Old World grace of its wisteria and bougainvillea-covered façade with a New Millennium environmental sensibility. The elegant vegetarian rooftop restaurant is the culmination of this eco-luxe philosophy, and sets the standard for organic fine-dining in Rome.
