Best Places to Stay in Rome

The piazzas and palazzos of Roma are calling to you, but first you’ll set down your bags at one of the top Rome hotels. Once you’re checked in and you’ve enjoyed a glass of red, you’re ready to conquer the city with the gusto of Augustus. Lots of accommodations are near Rome’s top attractions and gastronomical feats, but these are some of the best:

• Boscolo Exedra Roma, Autograph Collection: From its prime location to its opulent décor, the 5-star Boscolo Exedra Roma will make your eyes sparkle. Chandeliers and rich fabric curtains adorn your room, and the lobby feels down right palatial. Part of the hotel has a plate-glass floor, revealing lit views of subterranean ancient walls.
• Artemide Hotel: Leather headboards and wood accents give your private suite a modern feel in the middle of an ancient city. The cosmopolitan feel extends to the hotel’s spa, which has a sauna, hot tub, and plenty of lounge chairs where you can enjoy a deep breath or two. At the Ambrosia Restaurant, you’ll sink your teeth into a gnocchi or ravioli so good you may never settle for grocery store noodles again.
• Starhotels Michelangelo: Named for the famed Italian artist, this 4-star hotel near Vatican City lives and breathes by its commitment to honor Renaissance art. This endeavor shows up in the framed art, dramatic doorways, and entire walls depicting Roman architecture in your room. It’s an art-lover’s dream, and just a short walk to some of the best attractions in the city. If you need help planning your excursions, you can call upon the concierge.
• Grand Hotel De La Minerve: With Grand in the name, you know what to expect from this elegant hotel—classically contemporary rooms and suites, towering doorframes and artwork in the lobby, and fine dining on-site. Grab a bite in the Roof Garden restaurant and sip cocktails in the stately hall.

When in Rome

Your favorite hotels in Rome are near the dreamiest attractions. Stay close to the Piazza del Campidoglio, and you’re just short jaunt from its immaculately symmetrical geometry; soon you’ll be lost in the surreal experience of standing on one of Michelangelo’s creations. Other accommodations poise you for a morning trip to the spectacular frescoes and ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican City. You have no doubt, the Eternal City and its spectacular landmarks represent the finest art and architecture in the world. Stay within a coin’s throw of the Trevi Fountain. Toss a 1 cent euro into the fountain (use your right hand and throw it over your left shoulder) and legend says you're guaranteed to return to Rome. A gamble well worth it, wise wanderer.

Rome isn’t just the capital of Italy, it’s also a hub for gastronomy and art and all the things you love. Standing before the Colosseum or the Spanish Steps, you can imagine yourself living in long gone eras, a part of the Roman Empire and residing in one of the world’s most powerful cities. When you grab Rome hotel deals from Travelocity, you may not be ruling the land like Titus but you’ll certainly be on your way to making your mark there.
