Forum of Augustus

I was worried when, a couple of days before my trip, I got an email saying you may not be able to drive up to the hotel because it's in a Historic District, but Uber and Chauffeurs could park right in front. And the Jazz from the Restaurant next door during the day and evening made me feel like I was in a 1950s movie. My hotel stay in Rome was the best part of my vacation.

Rooms have beautifully traditional decor but have fine modern features like step-in showers and adequate air conditioning. Hotel is on a quiet, elegant, leafy residential street, but still convenient. It is in an early 1900's building that resembles a mansion but had been a US Embassy building. Most importantly, staff is especially knowledgeable and helpful.
