Luxury Weekend in Rome

Be Wowed by this Ancient City!

It wasn’t built in a day but you can certainly enjoy a luxury city-break in Rome in a weekend. Since its time as the centre of the Ancient Roman Empire right up to the present, Rome has been one of the most important cities in the world. It’s got a mild Mediterranean climate, so there’s never a bad time to book a hotel in Rome, or you can even book your whole holiday in Rome, including flights.

The Colosseum

Close your eyes and imagine you’re a member of a 60,000-strong crowd baying for blood in the Colosseum while gladiators fight. It’s hard to imagine that the building you’re walking through was built in 70AD: just imagine the dramatic sights it’s seen.

Afterwards, head over the breathtaking Trevi Fountain, then back to your hotel for some serious rest and relaxation: the Radisson SAS Hotel has great outdoors space, including a bigger outdoors swimming pool than you’ll know what to do with, a gorgeous terrace, and a gym to boot.

The Vatican

It’s the smallest country in the world, but you won’t need your passport to get in. Head to Vatican City and see where the Pope lives, among splendid marble architecture.

If all that gives you a taste for the finer things in life, consider staying at the Romanico Palace Hotel, perfectly located right in the city centre. With its marble floors, Italian furnishings and Turkish bath it’s one of the most luxurious hotels in Rome.
