Room types

The four room types offered by IMPERIAL FORUM RELAIS share the same basic features: parquet flooring, a private bathroom with shower and hairdryer, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, a tea and coffee set, a wardrobe, a safe and city views from the windows. What changes is the size and capacity, designed to suit different needs, from a couple on a romantic trip to a small group of friends or a family with children.

The Double Room with Private Bathroom is the most compact, at 16 sqm with a large double bed for two people. The other three solutions exceed 25 sqm and add a sofa bed: the Triple Room reaches 26 sqm for three guests, while the Quadruple Room with Private Bathroom and the Quadruple Deluxe Room reach 32 sqm, accommodating up to four people with more space for daytime living.
