Rome isn’t just the Colosseum and Vatican: it’s a city of charming neighborhoods, cobblestone streets, and hidden piazzas. Picking the right area to stay in can completely transform your Roman experience. To help, I’ve curated the top luxury hotel picks for key Roman neighborhoods, along with tips on how to choose the best location for your trip.
Choosing the Best Neighborhood in Rome
- Centro Storico (Historic Center): First-time visitors love being steps from iconic landmarks like Piazza Navona, Pantheon, and Campo de’ Fiori.
- Trastevere: Perfect for foodies and night owls, with cobbled streets, trattorias, and a lively nightlife scene.
- Prati: Close to the Vatican, quieter streets, great for families or travelers wanting calm yet central access.
- Monti: Trendy and artsy, ideal for boutique shopping, wine bars, and a hip, local vibe.
