47 Boutique Hotel, Rome

47 Boutique Hotel puts you in the middle of Rome's ancient history thanks to its location next to the Piazza della Bocca della Verità. A complex of ancient Roman sites, like the 3rd-century Tempio di Portuno and circular Temple of Hercules Victor, are directly across the street, less than two minutes by foot. The Circus Maximus is just five minutes away. Walk to the Coliseum in 20 minutes or have your "La Dolce Vita" moment at the Trevi Fountain in the same amount of time. The hotel is just one block away from a bus stop that can also take you to a number of Rome's famous attractions.

The 61 rooms are spacious and modern, with a mix of clean lines, bold colors, and ornate hardwood floors. The smallest is the Classic Double or Twin, which comes in at 215 square feet (20 sqm), a roomy choice for a city-center hotel. Most room types have a balcony option so that you can relax with a cup of coffee and a view of the city. All bathrooms have showers only and come with cozy robes. Suites come with sofa beds and can sleep up to three, so they're suitable for families.

The rooftop bar and restaurant have a sweeping view of the city and get booked out quickly, so be sure to make a reservation in advance. If you're looking to stay in, enjoy a movie night at the hotel's private cinema, which plays films from around the world. 47 Boutique Hotel holds the distinction of being Rome's first Green Globe-certified hotel thanks to its numerous sustainability practices. The hotel offers free bike rentals, as well as aluminum water bottles that you can refill either at the hotel's dispensers or at various fountains throughout the city.
