Palazzo Manfredi

FACE TO FACE WITH THE COLISEUM

Palazzo Manfredi stands upon the ruins of the ancient gladiatorial training school, the Ludus Magnus, right opposite the majestic Colosseum. The hotel originated in the early 17th century, when it was a family villa designed by the architect Giovanni Battista Mola. In 1748, the villa was completely rebuilt to become a hunting lodge. Much later, in 2002, Count Goffredo Manfredi, one of Italy's most famous entrepreneurs, bought the villa and transformed it into the Palazzo Manfredi of today. Ideally situated in the Italian capital, the establishment offers breath-taking views of the iconic Colosseum and is a short walking distance from Piazza Venezia and the Spanish Steps. The Palazzo houses 26 rooms and suites elegantly decorated with leather and velvet, natural tones, and furniture crafted by renowned artists. Some of the rooms look out over the Colosseum, offering total immersion in the heart of Rome. Located on the hotel's superb terrace, the Aroma restaurant offers Michelin-starred Italian cuisine, once again with a breath-taking view of the Eternal City.

ETHICS

The Michelin-starred Aroma restaurant at the Palazzo Manfredi favours local and seasonal ingredients for its menu, and also selects fish from sustainable fisheries (meaning you won't find tuna on the menu).
