JUST FOR FUN WE HAVE PULLED TOGETHER A LIST OF HOTELS IN ROME & LAZIO WHICH WE THINK WOULD HAVE MADE GREAT LOCATIONS FOR AGATHA CHRISTIE'S HERCULE POIROT!

We are enthusiastic fans of Poirot partly because we love David Suchet and partly because of the extremely glamorous locations in the episodes. Although Poirot never filmed in or near Rome these fine establishments are all places which we feel would have fit the bill - with more than a hint of Art Deco and elegance of a bygone era. 
OUR POIROT-ESQUE HOTEL LIST
  • HOTEL STENDHAL - lovely 4* hotel right in the heart of Rome's exclusive shopping district, with paintings in the elegant dining + lounge areas, and lovely guest rooms - all rather reminiscent of a steamship - even the bar is shaped like a bow.
  • HOTEL LOCARNO - hidden behind Piazza del Popolo we love the Art Nouveau touches throughout, the Art Deco bar, and the lounge area, which is sort of a mini Palm Court complete with rattan furniture.
  • RIVER PALACE HOTEL - cosy 4* hotel close to Piazza del Popolo and walking distance from the National Gallery of Modern Art (GNAM). We love the spacious entrance leading to the bar, the decorative wooden panelling and bead molding in the rooms, and the blue glass skylight.  
  • HOTEL FORUM - another classic 4* This time situated right off the Via dei Fori Imperiali. The whoel lobby, lounge and staircase area definitely bring to mind and early 1900's steamship, with highly polished wood panelling and leather bucket seats in the intimate bar.
  • LORD BYRON HOTEL - stylish 5* hotel located near the National Gallery of Modern Art and the Villa Borghese Park. 1930's Art Deco style complete with its own art collection. Especially chic are the lobby bar + lounge area. Put on your best dress and Marcel Wave because here it's glamour all the way. 
  • BOSCOLO PALACE HOTEL - one of our favourite 5* hotels located on the elegant Via Veneto. Best feature is the CADORIN LOUNGE with stunning murals, amazingly glossy black bar + Jazz music. 
  • VILLA IRLANDA, GAETA - relaxing 4* hotel in GAETA (2 hours down the coast) opposite the sea. We could definitely imagine Hercule sitting here amongt he palm trees, or in the airy restaurant, or by the attractive swimming pool as he figures out the villain's next move.
