Palazzo Ripetta

Palazzo Ripetta is a 5-star hotel set in a former monastery in Rome’s Spagna district, just steps from Piazza del Popolo and the Trinità dei Monti Steps. The building retains its original high ceilings and arches, arranged around a quiet inner courtyard that contrasts with the city traffic just outside the front door.

The rooms and suites, all air-conditioned, range from the Prestige Double Room to spacious lofts and apartments with a kitchenette, designed for both short stays and families or small groups. Each accommodation features a flat-screen TV with streaming services, soundproofed walls, a minibar and a tea and coffee set, with views over the city or the inner courtyard depending on the room type.

A generous buffet breakfast with options for every dietary need is served each morning, while the San Baylon restaurant offers light Mediterranean dishes that can also be enjoyed in the courtyard with a cocktail. The property also offers 5 meeting rooms, a concierge service, a 24-hour front desk and private parking directly connected to the building, convenient for those travelling by car in such a central area.

Location & what to see

Palazzo Ripetta is located in the Spagna district, on a stretch of Via di Ripetta just steps from the Tiber and Piazza del Popolo, in an area that mixes historic buildings with small shops and boutiques. The inner courtyard of the former monastery offers unexpected peace compared to the bustle of the surrounding streets, while Via del Corso, just 100 metres away, opens the way to shopping and strolling toward the city centre.

Getting around is easy thanks to the proximity of two metro stations: Flaminio at 450 metres and Spagna at 700 metres, both reachable on foot in a few minutes. Flaminio railway station is equally close, while Ciampino airport is about 14 km away and Fiumicino airport about 19 km. The Ara Pacis Museum is 450 metres away, and the Trinità dei Monti Steps and Piazza di Spagna are about 600 metres away.

Within a few minutes’ walk you can also reach the Fontana della Barcaccia and the Pincio park at 300 metres, and a little farther, the Trevi Fountain at 1 km and Piazza Navona at 1.1 km. Those who enjoy walking can go as far as Castel Sant’Angelo, less than 1 km away, or dedicate a day to Villa Borghese, 1.6 km away, with its tree-lined paths and museums. In every season the area is perfect for evening strolls among illuminated squares and historic cafés, while in the summer months the hotel’s inner courtyard offers a shaded refuge from the city heat.

Piazza del Popolo — large monumental square with an Egyptian obelisk and twin churches 300 m

Ara Pacis — museum dedicated to the famous Roman altar of peace 450 m
