The Fifteen Keys Hotel

The Fifteen Keys Hotel is a 4-star hotel in the Monti district, in the center of Rome, a 4-minute walk from Cavour metro station and about 800 meters from the Colosseum.

The property occupies a period building with original stucco, exposed stone walls and brick ceilings, elements that coexist with vintage furnishings and modern amenities such as a 40-inch LCD TV, minibar and electric kettle in every room. The inner garden and terrace offer a relaxing space away from the traffic of Via Urbana, while the reception is staffed 24 hours a day with concierge service.

The rooms, from the Classic Single to the Suite with a separate living area, share a private bathroom with Malin+Goetz amenities and air conditioning, differing in size, view and extra features such as a balcony or coffee machine. The hotel is designed especially for couples, who particularly appreciate its location, but it also suits solo travelers or those wanting to explore the capital’s main landmarks on foot, among historic squares, museums and archaeological ruins just steps away.
