Always the perfect base for a stay in Rome, the grand, centrally located Hotel Mediterraneo wants to be sure each day starts off perfectly. Guests staying in superior rooms and suites can enjoy a complimentary breakfast in the property’s lovely rooftop terrace while drinking in stunning views of one of the world’s most iconic destinations. A member of the Bettoja Hotels group, the Hotel Mediterraneo is ideally situated a block from the Termini Station, and an easy walk to a host of the Eternal City’s historic and cultural sites, excellent dining, shopping — and plenty of gelato emporiums.

Post-breakfast, enjoy a half- or full-day bespoke tour of the city, perfect for leisure travelers or corporate groups. Discover Bernini’s sculptures at the Villa Borghese Gardens & Museum, tour the Colosseum and Pantheon, visit the Forum, Spanish Steps, Trevi Fountain and Baths of Diocletian or a host of other well-loved sites. Skip the guide and move at your own pace, courtesy of the hotel’s Roma a Piedi walking itineraries, available from the concierge. Visit during spring or summer, and you can catch an outdoor concert at Rome’s Auditorium. Bettoja Hotels also offer a culture-themed stay, with tickets to various exhibits included.
