Royal Suite du Vatican

Royal Suite du Vatican is a guest house in the Prati district, in the historic center of Rome, just 500 meters from St. Peter’s Square and 800 meters from Castel Sant’Angelo. The property occupies a period building along Via Germanico, a residential street just steps from the Vatican walls, and is designed for those who want to experience the capital’s most iconic district without giving up the calm of a side street.

The three room types share a classic design with wooden furniture, satellite LCD TV with pay-per-view channels, air conditioning and soundproofed walls; the differences mainly concern size and capacity, from the more compact double room to the triple room designed for small groups or families. A private bathroom is always included, and some rooms offer views of the inner courtyard or the city.

The location is the real strength: the Sistine Chapel and the Vatican Museums can be reached on foot in about ten minutes, while Ottaviano metro station is just 250 meters away. Couples especially praise the area, rated 9.7 for a stay for two.
