Which hotel in Rome is the best positioned to discover the city?

A hotel that is centrally located or one in the outskirts of Rome?

 

Rome is a city with a thousand facets, so whether you would like to reside right in the heart of it all or be in a quieter district and discover areas of Rome that often go unnoticed, the choice is all yours. For the best sightseeing, we recommend the rione Trevi. This is right in the heart of the city, also where you can find the famous Fontana di Trevi and a number of squares filled with bustling bars and restaurants. The neighbouring rione Pigna, however, is home to the famous Pantheon. For the authenticity and a little dolce vita, the rione Monti is a vast and centrally placed area that gives you access to a variety of archaeological sites, piazzas, and funky bars. Here you will most likely find yourself nestled in the narrow and ancient streets, comfortably residing in a quaint boutique hotel.

 

 

 

How do I find a hotel near the Colosseum?

Located within the rione Celio, a pleasantly green area of the city, the Colosseum sits on the edge of the district, close to Monti. Although overlooking the Colosseum would be perfect, this could be a very crowded area with high accommodation prices. A good option would be to reside in the rione Monti, finding yourself just a walking distance from the famous landmark. Book yourself a stay at the Monti Palce Hotel, an ideal hotel in Rome.

 

Is there a hotel close to the Spanish Steps in Rome?

The exclusive situation of the Hotel Art by The Spanish Steps | UNA Esperienze is exactly what you should aim for if you wish to reside near the Spanish Steps. Found in the rione Colonna, you will also have the privilege of being a short walk away from the Villa Borghese Park and the lavish villa itself. From this zone, you can also expect various clothing stores and the 2^nd century Column of Marcus Aurelius.

 

 

Is it better to sojourn outside the centre of Rome?

Whilst still being part of the rioni of the historic centre, areas like Testaccio, Trastevere, and Prati, are right on the edges of the centre and connect you to the districts that are even further out. Prati however, has a very advantageous positioning, as it is found on the west bank of the River Tiber, giving you the chance to find an address along the river, like the luxurious Ara Suite. This special address is very well connected to the central attractions of the city and only a short distance from the Vatican City too! It is safe to say that the further away from the centre you go, the lower the prices will get. The Trastevere neighbourhood is an ideal place to reside, frequented by both tourists and locals, many say it is the area with the most character. Filled with traditional and bustling trattorias, it is a great location to savour some authentic Roman dishes and experience the best of Italian hospitality.

 

 

 

When is the best time to visit the city of Rome?

 

With a high influx of tourists each year, both domestic and international, the Eternal City is definitely a popular destination. Depending on what time of the year you visit, the affordability of your stay may differ. High season like the summer months can be a time where hotel rates are particularly high and offers may be scarce. However, last-minute deals can often be a good way to book your hotel in Rome, as you’ll get the best available prices, and you would not need to wait too long to depart!

 

Here are some things you should consider when you are booking your accommodation in the capital city of Italy:

 

• Summer months in the city (June to September) can be really hot and really busy, so be prepared.
• For the most part, winter makes up the low season. Despite the colder weather, prices are a lot lower, and the streets are quieter.
• Visiting between the months of March and May would be the best time to visit Rome as you will find warm weather, good deals and offers, and an overall satisfying experience.
• Why not visit Rome at a special time of the year? Easter and Christmas are great options if you wish to see the city under a different light.

 

What should the length of my stay in Rome be?

With a central position within the Italian boot, Rome is a great starting point to explore the many beauties of Italy. You may decide to plan a lengthy stay and take the opportunity to explore the surroundings within the Lazio region, or prefer to just pass through and explore Rome in 3 days, visiting all the most important sites. It is possible to divide tourists into different categories depending on their motive of travel, which will then affect their length of stay in Rome. Here are some examples of what types of tourists you may find around the city:

 

• The food lovers – who will enjoy a gastronomic tour savouring some of the best Italian food.
• The business travellers – who will have a quick stop in the city but may still wish to discover the sites and attractions in their free time.
• The backpackers – those who backpack through Rome to head to a new destination after, will make the most of their brief time in the city.

Should I stay in an historic building or a modern address in the city of Rome?

We can quickly gather that the options of hotels are endless, and that there is a contrasting selection of addresses throughout Rome. But lucky for you, you don’t really have to make a decision between modern and ancient when picking your hotel in Rome. You can enjoy the best of both worlds and find the perfect blend between contemporaneity and authenticity. You can find addresses that are equipped with state-of-the-art comforts but are housed in buildings that date back to many centuries ago, across the whole city of Rome. The older the building, the richer in character the establishment will be, as it conserves its purest essence, allowing you to appreciate the history that still resides between its walls.

 

 

 

What is the oldest hotel in the Eternal city?

The Antico Albergo del Sole is recognised as the oldest hotel in the city of Rome, and it sits right across the Pantheon. Residing at this four-star address feels like a journey back in time, back to the origins of the establishment. A true boutique hotel with an elegant and intimate ambiance, where you can completely immerse yourself into its history, and enjoy authentic Italian hospitality.

 

What are some of Rome’s most modern hotels?

Due to the limited space for a garden amongst the narrow streets of the ancient centre, many hotels will boast a rooftop, on which there will often be a bar where you can unwind and enjoy the views of the city. Just outside of the centre, you can find the trendy Mama Shelter Roma, with its funky colours and design, and its charming rooftop pool and bar, it is a modern address perfect for the young tourists.
