The Inn at the Roman Forum is located in Rione Monti, one of the oldest and most characteristic districts of Rome, made up of alleyways, artisan workshops and small squares such as Piazza della Madonna dei Monti, 250 metres from the property. It is an area lived in by both residents and visitors, with an atmosphere less touristy than other central areas, despite being practically adjacent to the archaeological area of the Roman Forum.
From a logistical point of view, the location is among the best in Rome for those exploring on foot: the Colosseum is about 650 metres away, the Imperial Forums 350 metres and Trajan’s Column 300 metres. The Colosseo and Cavour metro stations are both about 450 metres away, while Termini Station can be reached in just over a kilometre. For those arriving by plane, Ciampino Airport is 12 km away and Fiumicino Airport 19 km away.
The area is well suited to long walks among the main sites of ancient Rome: besides the Colosseum and the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill, the Domus Aurea at 700 metres and the Capitoline Museums at 450 metres are all within easy reach. In the evening, Rione Monti offers numerous restaurants and bars within a few hundred metres, such as Mario’s and Il Grillo ai Fori Romani, both just 50 metres from the hotel. Piazza Venezia and the Trevi Fountain can be reached with a 10-15 minute walk, making it easy to explore the historic centre without transport.
