There are many good reasons to grant yourself a well-earned break at the bar
of the Hotel d’Inghilterra. First among them is the delight in discovering one
of the most authentically British spots in Italy’s capital, complete with luscious
leather armchairs, vintage furniture and art. This delightfully cosy setting
has always attracted great artists and celebrities from the world of entertainment,
people like sculptor Alexander Calder, for example, who once drew a marvelous
doodle that to this day is jealously guarded by the Hotel’s beloved longtime concierge,
Giuseppe Iaquinto.
Apart from its famous guests, the Bar d’Inghilterra also boasts an illustrious
bartender, Peter Reynolds, the crafter of perfect martinis, brilliant Kyr Royals
and unforgettable Irish coffees. And the coffee? Well, people cross the city
to enjoy a cup of it here in Little England! It so good, in fact, that in 2002
it was awarded the Best Coffee in Rome award and according to the very prestigious
Italian gourmet magazine, the Gambero Rosso, it still ranks among the top 13 best
espressos in Italy.
