Within a 30-minute walk of this hotel is one of the most visited monuments in Rome, the Pantheon. Its name means 'all gods' in Greek. Apart from the structure itself, there are some really cute and tasty Italian restaurants around the square. My favorite was Hostaria Pantheon.
Tip from Content Creator
If you want to experience more than just a view of the Colosseum from afar, just take a five-minute walk to the historic place.
Built over 1,900 years ago, it's the largest ancient amphitheater ever constructed and is still the largest standing amphitheater in the world. It was used to host gladiatorial shows and other events back in the day and is now one of the new seven wonders of the world.

Tip from tour guide
If you wish to witness charming pink azaleas, you can take a 10-minute walk from the property to reach the Spanish Steps. Every April, the yearly "Infiorata Capitolina" fills the Spanish Steps with tons of azaleas, providing the perfect opportunity for taking stunning photographs. This tradition originated in the early 1930s at Villa Aldobrandini before finding a permanent home in Piazza di Spagna in 1952. This delightful tradition continues to enchant visitors today.
Tip from tour guide
Just a 15-minute walk from the property is the Pantheon, the most well-preserved building from Ancient Rome. Emperor Hadrian built it over the ruins of an earlier temple built by Augustus which had burned down.
The portico's 16 granite columns were transported from Egypt and each weighs 60 tons! To put that into perspective, each one weighs as much as half an adult blue whale, 5 cruise ship anchors, or 8.5 Tyrannosaurus Rex!
