This hotel may have the best location in all of Rome: it is just a few steps from the Colosseum and a five-minutes’ walk from the imperial forums. Unveiled some 15 years ago by prolific entrepreneur Goffredo Manfredi, rooms and suites at this 16-key, 17th-century palazzo are marked by soft, contemporary decor with gentle Baroque touches. Don’t miss the in-house Aroma Restaurant with its top-storey terrace overlooking the Colosseum. Here, talented chef Giuseppe Di Lorio – who trained at London’s Hyde Park Hotel – has created an inspiring seasonal menu that captures the very essence of regional cuisine.
