Courtyard under the stars The large, attractive open-air courtyard inside the hotel is laid out with tables, umbrellas and greenery. Typical Roman materials have been used in the courtyard, such as travertine and porphyry, while the Carrara marble-clad fountain is a sixteenth century original. Bar service is available in the Courtyard under the Stars, with a vast range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, snacks of all kinds and quick meals served at any time of day. On the warm Rome summer evenings, it is particularly delightful to relax outside with a drink after a busy day working, sightseeing or shopping.
