The property occupies a historic building along Via Cavour, the road that connects the archaeological centre to Termini Station, and is designed both for those visiting Rome at a relaxed pace and for business travellers, thanks to its business centre and meeting spaces. The rooms, spread across several types ranging from 21 to over 100 square metres, are all air-conditioned and equipped with a minibar, satellite TV and soundproofing; some overlook the city’s rooftops with a balcony or terrace, while others are suites with a separate living area and a whirlpool bath.

On the ground floor is the restaurant Le Spighe, dedicated to traditional Roman and Italian cuisine, along with an American-style bar and a buffet breakfast service with continental, Italian and vegan options. WiFi is free throughout the property. In the immediate surroundings you’ll find the Forum, Trajan’s Park, the Esquilino district with its markets, and the metro stop that reaches Termini in just a couple of minutes.

Location & what to see

The hotel is located in the Monti district, one of the most characteristic areas of Rome’s historic centre, made up of alleyways, artisan workshops and small squares such as Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, about 100 metres away. Via Cavour, which the property overlooks, directly connects the central archaeological area to the Termini district, while maintaining a more intimate atmosphere than the main thoroughfares.

Cavour Metro Station is about 100 metres away, and Colosseo station is 300 metres away: from here, both Termini, at 1.1 km, and the Repubblica area, at 400 metres, can be reached in just a few stops. The Colosseum is about 450 metres away on foot, the Roman Forum 650 metres, and the Arch of Constantine 550 metres; the Domus Aurea, at 450 metres, is also easily reached on foot. Ciampino and Fiumicino airports are 12 and 19 km away respectively.

Guests staying here can spend mornings exploring the ruins of the Palatine Hill and the Roman Forum, then head in the afternoon towards Piazza Venezia or the Trevi Fountain, about 1 km away. In summer, walking tours organised by the property let you discover the archaeological area at sunset, avoiding the midday heat; in winter, the Esquilino district, with its markets and ethnic restaurants, remains a convenient destination for evening dinners just a short walk from the hotel. Piazza Navona and Piazza di Spagna, further away, can still be reached on foot in 20-25 minutes.

Colosseum — the amphitheatre symbol of Rome, reachable on foot in just a few minutes 450 m

Roman Forum — the archaeological area with the remains of the ancient Roman forums 650 m

Domus Aurea — Nero's imperial residence, open for guided visits 450 m

Arch of Constantine — triumphal monument next to the Colosseum, a classic photo stop 550 m

Piazza Venezia — large square with the Vittoriano monument, a landmark of the city centre 800 m

Trevi Fountain — the famous baroque fountain, a popular spot for evening strolls 1 km
