Hotel Smeraldo is a 3-star property in the historic centre of Rome, just 200 metres from Campo de’ Fiori, among the streets that connect the Pantheon to Piazza Navona.
The rooms, all air-conditioned and soundproofed, feature a private bathroom, flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a minibar; some room types offer a balcony, city view or a shower with hydromassage, while the larger suites and junior suites include a private kitchen and living area, ideal for families or extended stays. Buffet breakfast is served every morning until 10:00, with continental, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
On the top floor there is a terrace with a cocktail bar overlooking the rooftops of the historic centre, an evening meeting point for a drink with a view. The front desk operates 24 hours a day with a luggage storage service, and the property is easily reached on foot from Rome’s main monuments, with the Pantheon and Piazza Navona about 5 minutes from the entrance. The Campo de’ Fiori area, with its morning market and nightlife among restaurants and bars, forms the everyday backdrop in which the property is set.
Hotel Smeraldo offers thirteen room types, from the most compact single rooms to spacious family suites with their own kitchen. All rooms are air-conditioned, soundproofed and equipped with a private bathroom, flat-screen TV with satellite channels and a minibar, elements that guarantee a good level of comfort regardless of the size chosen.
The main differences relate to size, view and extra amenities: some rooms overlook the rooftops of the historic centre with a balcony or private terrace, others have a shower with hydromassage, while the larger solutions, such as the 70 m² Family Suite or the Junior Suite with Terrace, include a fully equipped kitchen, dining area and more separate bedrooms, designed for families or groups seeking greater independence during their stay in Rome.

Unlike the annex version, this room is located in the main building and offers a balcony with city view and a shower with hydromassage, a detail that sets it apart from the other superior rooms of the same size.
Designed for the solo traveller, it is the only single room in the range with a balcony and city view, plus a patio and terrace that make it the option with the most outdoor space among the available single rooms.
The most compact of the standard double rooms, it does not accommodate extra beds and is suited to those looking for an essential option in the historic centre without giving up air conditioning and satellite TV.
The twin of the Superior with balcony in terms of size and city view, it differs in the absence of a private balcony, while still offering the shower with hydromassage as a distinctive feature.
The smallest room in the property, located in the annex a few metres from the main building, designed for short and essential stays with breakfast served at the main property.
The largest in the hotel at 70 m², this family suite includes a living room, two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms with shower; the kitchen is fully equipped with fridge, dishwasher, oven and utensils, ideal for large families.
The only suite with a private 16 m² terrace, it has a separate entrance at Via dei Chiavari 2 and features its own kitchen and dining area, with breakfast served at the main building.

Hotel Smeraldo is located in the Pantheon district, among the cobbled lanes that connect Campo de’ Fiori to Piazza Navona, in the heart of Renaissance Rome. The area is largely pedestrian, lively by day with the open-air market of Campo de’ Fiori and by night with restaurants, gelaterias and bars crowded until late.
The hotel is about a 5-minute walk from the Pantheon and Piazza Navona, while Largo di Torre Argentina is 200 metres away and Castel Sant’Angelo about 1.1 km. The Trevi Fountain is about a 15-minute walk away (1 km), and the Imperial Forums are 850 metres away. For those arriving by train, Roma San Pietro station is 1.7 km away, while Colosseo metro station is 1.5 km away; Ciampino and Fiumicino airports are 13 and 18 km from the centre, respectively.
Exploring on foot is the best way to experience this part of Rome: along the streets of the district you can discover the Insula Romana, Palazzo Massimo and the Pinacoteca of Palazzo Torres, all just a few hundred metres away. In spring and autumn the Campo de’ Fiori market is especially lively in the morning, while in summer the hotel’s terrace offers a privileged viewpoint for an evening drink overlooking the illuminated historic centre. Trastevere, with its Piazza di Santa Maria, is reachable with a walk of about 650 metres from the heart of the district.
