With a front-row view of the Colosseum, the palatial Palazzo Manfredi is quite possibly the most spectacular location in Rome. The 17th-century former private palazzo rests on the site of the Ludus Magnus, the gladiator training grounds, and astounds its guests with real-time glimpses into history and beautiful design.
Neo art deco in style, the property’s rooms are beautifully curated with original art pieces, mid-century chandeliers, art deco-inspired furniture and luminous parquet floors. The rooms have modern comforts, and many afford views of the iconic monument. The gorgeous courtyard is a posh lounge where you can meet up for an evening drink or afternoon aperitivo.
Palazzo Manfredi capitalizes on its prime location in the heart of Roman antiquity and landmarks. Just a step out the front door, Palazzo Manfredi is within a short walking distance of the Colosseum but set back enough so as to not be overwhelmed by the tourist crush. Nearby are other amazing landmarks and cultural sites, including the Basilica of San Clemente (with its hidden mithraeum), Domus Aurea (Nero’s Golden Palace) and Basilica of San Giovanni, the oldest church in the Western world.
- Rooftop restaurant Aroma is led by chef Giuseppe Di Iorio, whose focus on seafood is delightful. Come for the food and the views of a completely unobstructed Colosseum at sunset.
