4 and 3 stars luxury hotels in Italy

Where do the hotel take its origins? According to the Technology University of Texas the word “hospitality” comes from an ancient Latin term. From this research it has been known that the first hotels were represented by simple and private accommodations, made by a poor structure, and that, just under the Roman Empire the hotels started to become places more dedicated to the travellers’ comfort. One of the most ancient hotels in the world, currently still in use, is the Albergo del Sole al Pantheon, belonging to Sunflower Hotels Group, which, among its guests, had also the famous poet Ludovico Ariosto, and which is always mentioned in historical books, assuming a particular meaning. Going back to the past, the word “hotel” seems to come from the French “hôtel” as a reference to a townhouse. In addition, considering a more ancient period, the term shows to take its origins from the Greek word “ξενοδοχείο”, made by the words “ξενος” which means foreign and “δοχείο” which means location. If today we consider the meaning of the word “hotel”, it sounds quite strange to think something similar to the past, especially if we consider the Sunflower hotels, so luxury and full of comforts.  One of the many characteristics of these hotels is the various range of options among which it is possible to choose, selecting a luxury accommodation in Rome and Umbria, for every need, from business to leisure, family, group and individual tourism.
