Location & what to see

The hotel occupies an 18th-century building on Via Massimo D’Azeglio, in the Esquilino-Termini district, one of the most central and busy areas of Rome, halfway between the train station and Piazza della Repubblica. The setting is a lively historic center, with restaurants and bars just steps away, such as Amodei – Banco & Bottega just 10 meters away and Il Gallo Nero at 30 meters.

Repubblica-Teatro dell’Opera metro station is about 300 meters away, as is Roma Termini metro station, which provides direct connections to the Vatican and the Colosseum, about 1.2 km away. Roma Termini train station is 350 meters away, while Ciampino Airport is 12 km away and Fiumicino Airport is 20 km away.

A short walk away are the National Roman Museum (150 m) and Piazza della Repubblica (300 m), with its famous fountain. Continuing on foot, you can reach the Trevi Fountain (1.2 km), the Colosseum (1.2 km) and the Spanish Steps (1.4 km) in just a few minutes; the Domus Aurea is even closer, at about 1.1 km. The area is well suited to cultural tourism all year round, allowing visitors to reach the main monuments of the historic center on foot and avoid driving, which is complicated by the limited traffic zone.

Domus Aurea — remains of Nero's sumptuous imperial residence 1.1 km
