Hotel Palazzo Manfredi

Built upon the remains of the Ludus Magnus (ancient gladiatorial training barracks), this 17th-century aristocratic residence pairs classical Roman heritage with Michelin-starred rooftop dining.

Few hotels on earth command a vista as historically dramatic as Palazzo Manfredi. Situated directly across from the Colosseum, guests can wake up to morning sunlight illuminating the travertine arches of ancient Rome. With just 21 individually designed rooms and suites, the service is intimate and tailored. Its crown jewel, Aroma Restaurant, holds a Michelin star and offers one of the most romantic outdoor dining settings in Europe.
