Contemplating a Roman holiday? Let’s take a trip down the elegant lane of the “Eternal City.”
Where to Sleep and Relax In Rome
Rome is unique! The city almost has a personality—a subtle, bewitching personality that precariously walks the line between avant-garde culture and conservative tradition. But regardless of the side of the line you tumble towards, Rome’s glorious, simple, and charismatic beauty does not falter.
And when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Catch a breathtaking view of the city on the pretty pizzas, marvel at the haunting ruins of ancient icons, or explore the exhilarating streets. And at the end of the day, relax in one of the stylish hotels.
With the popularity of Rome, accommodation options are plenty—ranging from budget-friendly apartments to lavish five-star Roman palaces. Some particularly enticing options include Hotel Baglioni Regina, Hotel Locarno, Hotel Artemide, Rarity Suites, and Nerva Boutique Hotel for deluxe urban living.
And if you need to find your Zen, stroll the Villa Borghese gardens or schedule a TLC session at the Cavalieri Grand Spa Club.
