Rome: Hotels

Top-notch properties in Rome come with a top-notch price tag to match – the city is notoriously expensive. That said, if you’re willing to forgo space and amenities, there are clean, affordable, well-situated properties to be had. Old and new – a trademark of the city itself – is demonstrated by its hotel properties as well, with classics like the Hotel Oceania existing alongside designer newcomers like the Hotel Capo D’Africa.
