Staff are onsite by day, offering recommendations and arranging spa treatments, but in the evenings, guests have free-range of the refined space. Steps from prime shopping streets and the city’s best sites, Piazza di Spagna 9 lets guests live like locals in the heart of Rome’s most beautiful and prominent neighborhood.

Trains

Trains are one of the the fastest ways to get around Italy. Termini, Rome’s hub, offers high-speed connections throughout the country, including to Milan, Florence, Venice, Naples and Bari.

Automobiles

Cars are a great way to see Italy’s countryside, but Rome can be difficult to navigate. The hotel is in a restricted traffic zone, so luggage can only be dropped off after 7pm. The hotel has parking available 200 metres from the hotel, for €25 a day. Follow signs for the centre and then Piazza di Spagna, then use Via di San Sebastianello.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Rome is rife with attractions, many within a quick stroll of the hotel. Scale the Spanish Steps to view the historic centre of town, then set off to enjoy the bold-named tourist sites, including the Pantheon, the Forum, the Colosseum and Vatican City. On a beautiful day, take in the stunning art collection at the Villa Borghese’s gallery, home to several iconic Bernini sculptures. Enjoy some of the city’s not-so-ancient art with a tour of a contemporary artist’s studio. The hotel can arrange a visit to Art Lab, home of popular Roman artist Nicola Guerraz, whose work is showcased at the hotel.

For simple strolling, there’s no need to venture far to find some of Rome’s most iconic streets. Via Condotti connects to Piazza di Spagna, offering luxury shopping within a 30-second walk of the hotel. Before departing, visit the Trevi Fountain, made most famous by a voluptuous splash in La Dolce Vita, and toss in a few coins to ensure a speedy return visit.
