POMPEII, Italy-The name reflects 79 AD which was the year Mount Vesuvius erupted and buried the ancient city of Pompeii, as well as the number of rooms in the hotel: 79. Steps away from the entrance to the Pompei Archeological Park, this hotel is in a class of its own. No other hotels that match its size, luxury, and modernity. The twentieth century building formerly owned by the church has a tremendous floorplan which provides plenty of space for events and guests.
