Hotel Centrale is housed in a renovated 18th-century building in the historic centre of L'Aquila. Each room is decorated with designer furniture and offers free wired internet. The Cathedral is 500 metres away. The rooms feature wrought-iron beds, chestnut or varnished cabinets, and brocade curtains. The suites are uniquely themed. Guests of the Centrale can benefit from a spacious TV room, and relax with a drink in the chic but traditional lounge bar, Violet. Il Guastatore restaurant and pizzeria serves traditional Abruzzo cuisine and refined Italian and international specialities. Pizza is cooked in a wood-burning stove.
