The Best Hotels in Rome

We are often asked where is the best place to stay in Rome. Well, I say to them it doesn’t matter where you stay because you are in one of the most fascinating cities in the world with an incredible history. All you need is a bed because all you will remember about Rome is the city itself not the hotel!

There is so much history to see in Rome that it is like walking into a time machine. I remember that on my first trip to Rome I was having a guided tour of the Roman Forum. It was a hot day in July so I took a short break in the shade and was leaning up against an ancient arch. A few moments later our tour guide told me that I was leaning against The Arch of Septimius Severus which was built in 203AD. This was an arch built in dedication to Emperor Septimius Severus and his sons. The Roman legions used to march through this arch with slaves from their conquests. Nearly 2,000 years ago if I had been standing at the same spot I would have been obstructing them!

Back to where to stay in Rome. Well, there is an abundance of hotels and many 4 and 5 star ones. In this article I will tell you where you should be staying if you want the best hotel in Rome.
