"The Inn at the Roman Forum is a luxury hotel offering guests a unique stay with a Michelin Key rating for its exceptional service and location near Rome's ancient sites." - The MICHELIN Guide
"The Inn at the Roman Forum features its very own ancient ruins, including a crypt built before Christ. The hotel is located near major attractions in Rome such as the Roman Forum and the Colosseum. It has a classic decor with a canopy bed and shuttered windows in the rooms, a terrace with a city view, and a unique crypt open 24 hours a day. The hotel offers great service, including a complimentary breakfast and aperitifs. It's an iconic space in a charmed location." - Mitchell Friedman
"A daringly renovated seventeenth-century building constructed over an ancient part of the city (on the ground floor is a fascinating vaulted passageway to Trajan’s Market), the Inn at the Roman Forum shows off a striking décor of walls covered in silk moiré, heavy bronze drapes, parquet floors, and sculptures and paintings of approving ancient aristocrats. There are still plenty of period touches, though, like the crumbling plaster walls in passageways, and the odd bust of a former Roman statesman perched on a table, to appropriately set the scene. The 12 rooms are outfitted with four-poster beds swathed in shimmering organza, fiery-orange satin pillows strewn on silk bedspreads, and oversized shaded lamps suspended from coffered wood ceilings. There’s a rooftop breakfast/cocktail terrace, and the fourth floor’s three intimate public rooms are the heart of the hotel. The only downside is that, as with many small, chic hotels, the entire staff seem to consist of the front desk person and a rarely-seen factotum."
"Something of a sequel to the Inn at the Spanish Steps, the Inn at the Roman Forum takes a very similar approach. This one, like the other, is a charming and luxe retreat with a personality all its own — this one tucked away down a very minor alleyway, but like the other, right next to one of Rome’s famous tourist attractions." - Tablet Hotels
"Located above the ruins of imperial Rome – Trajan’s Forum on the slopes of the Viminale (the smallest of Rome’s Seven Hills) – this little luxury retreat is a stone’s throw from bustling tourist Rome, yet seems miles. Tucked down a medieval alley in the Monti neighbourhood, romantics will love the rooms – many have four-poster beds and fireplaces; some have private jacuzzis. There’s no proper restaurant on-site, but some of the city’s best trattorias are within walking distance. There is, however, a delightful roof garden, where you’re served breakfast, snacks and evening drinks while enjoying views of the Campidoglio. By far the most astonishing feature, however, is the excavated ancient cryptic Roman portico underneath the building discovered in 1887 – considered a treasure of ancient Rome. " - Rebecca Winke
