Inn at the Roman Forum

The location of this boutique hotel, close to the Forum but on a picturesque street that is comfortably off the tourist trail, gives the place an exclusive feel. The 12 rooms are a suave combination of rich fabrics and antiques; the spacious deluxe double rooms – some of which have fireplaces – have canopied beds and marble bathrooms. Breakfast is served on the roof terrace or in a cosy room with open fire in the winter. An ancient cryptiporticus has been excavated on the ground floor.
