The Stadio Olimpico is Rome's grand multi-sport arena, shared by AS Roma and SS Lazio football clubs and the Italian national rugby team for their Six Nations home matches, with a capacity of over 70,000 in one of Europe's most atmospheric stadiums. The stadium hosted the 1960 Olympic athletics and was the venue for the 1990 FIFA World Cup Final. Hotels in Rome provide excellent stadium access alongside the Eternal City's extraordinary ancient heritage — the Colosseum, Roman Forum, Vatican, and world-class pasta and wine culture.
Our Picks — Rome
Piazza del Popolo
The terraced Secret Garden alone makes de Russie worth the stay — a walled oasis of orange trees and jasmine between the Spanish Steps and Piazza del Popolo. Rooms are refined without being stuffy, the Stravinskij Bar is one of Rome's great people-watching spots, and the Rocco Forte spa is genuinely excellent.
Campo de' Fiori
A design-forward boutique in a converted palazzo steps from Campo de' Fiori's morning market. The rooftop terrace has one of Rome's best aperitivo views, rooms feature original architectural details layered with contemporary Italian design, and the restaurant serves modern Roman cuisine that actually competes with the neighbourhood trattorias.
Trastevere
A converted 16th-century cloister wrapped around a courtyard of orange trees — one of the most atmospheric small hotels in Rome. Rooms are simple but charming, the location in the heart of Trastevere puts you surrounded by the city's best casual dining, and the nightly quiet is remarkable for such a central position.
Via del Corso
A rotating collection of contemporary art throughout the hotel keeps things interesting beyond the expected Roman luxury. The First doubles as a genuine gallery, with a rooftop restaurant overlooking the city and a Via del Corso location that puts the Trevi Fountain and Spanish Steps within easy walking distance.
Colosseum
Wake up and look directly at the Colosseum from your bed — the view from this intimate 16-room hotel is arguably the most spectacular in Rome. The rooftop terrace restaurant with the floodlit arena as backdrop is unforgettable for a special dinner. Small enough to feel personal, polished enough to feel luxurious.
Salario
The Hoxton's Roman outpost occupies a 17th-century palazzo with a courtyard restaurant that's become a destination in its own right. The brand's signature affordable-cool aesthetic translates beautifully to Rome — rooms are compact but thoughtfully designed, and the Salario location is walkable to Villa Borghese and Via Veneto.
