Set in an 1887 palace in the Ludovisi district, Romanico Palace Hotel & Spa pairs frescoed interiors with a panoramic rooftop bar and Roman spa, all with Via Veneto and Villa Borghese within walking distance. It offers a memorable base for your Roman escape.
The 1887 palace gives you a sense of place
The hotel’s 19th-century setting gives it a different feel from a contemporary city hotel. Frescoes, paintings, statues and decorative details lend the interiors a distinctly historic character, while the central location makes it easy to head out and explore.
The Ludovisi district also has its own story. Developed after Rome became the capital of Italy, it grew around broad streets, grand residences, cafes and hotels.
You can take aperitivo upstairs at Aria Rooftop
At Aria Rooftop, you can settle in above the city for live music, signature cocktails and Italian delicacies, with views towards Rome’s monuments. The rooftop is seasonal, so check its opening when planning your stay. It’s a handy change of pace: an evening here can start with a view rather than another trip across town. For a daytime counterpart, breakfast is served on the seventh floor, where guests can eat with a panoramic view.
RomAmor Spa offers a slower interlude
After a day on foot, RomAmor Spa brings the focus back indoors. A hydromassage pool, sauna, Turkish bath, Finnish shower and relaxation area await for pampering in between sightseeing. The contrast suits a Rome itinerary: long stretches spent among piazzas, churches and galleries, followed by time to unwind without needing to plan another outing. There’s also a gym on site for guests who want to keep up a regular routine while travelling.
Via Veneto brings Rome’s Dolce Vita history within reach
From the hotel, it’s a short walk to Via Veneto, the grand promenade that became synonymous with Rome’s Dolce Vita years. Its cafés and hotels once drew film stars and paparazzi; today, its stately façades and leafy pavements make for an enjoyable stroll towards Villa Borghese.
Villa Borghese makes room for a greener side of Rome
About 10 minutes on foot from the hotel, Villa Borghese is a welcome change of pace from the city’s busy streets. Wander its tree-lined paths and gardens, or visit the Borghese Gallery, known for its collection of paintings and sculptures.
You can combine the park with a walk along Via Veneto, then save another day for the Spanish Steps or Trevi Fountain, both around a 15- to 20-minute walk away. It’s an easy location for mixing Rome’s best-known sights with slower moments between them.
