This is where I stayed on my most recent stay.

It faces Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore in the Monti district.

It is new, fresh and offers rooms with a great view of the piazza along with an amazing rooftop bar.

Michelangelo Roma

A stylish boutique hotel in the Prati district, close to the Vatican.

Aleph Rome Hotel

A Hilton Curio hotel, a beautiful historical building with a 10-minute walk to the

Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, and Villa Borghese.

Doubletree Monti

Another spot we have stayed before, a little larger of a hotel with a great location in Monti.

Hotel d’Inghilterra

Recommended by a friend, right by the Spanish steps and all the shops.
