Aleph is a fairly new hotel designed by a New York-famous architect Adam Tihany, who contrasted the belle epoque building with a strikingly modern exotic interior and its shades of reds and burgundy. With an address just off Via Veneto and close to all the luxury boutiques, the location could not be more convenient. The hotel offers excellent service, a full spa, and 5 star amenities in beautifully decorated, though somewhat small, rooms. For my first stay in January 2005, I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a room with a private terrace larger than the room itself (see photo)! My second stay in April 2007 was just as great, but no terrace unfortunately. The spa was also closed for repair work. A drink at the sinfully red bar on the ground floor is a must.
