Rome City, Italy

Wake up to a leisurely buffet breakfast served on the rooftop terrace or in the cosy breakfast room, with views over tiled rooftops and Roman church domes when the weather plays along. Expect a continental spread with pastries, cured meats, cheeses, fruit and hot options to set you up for a day of exploring.

There’s also a rooftop lounge bar – a lovely spot to retire to after sightseeing with a glass of wine or an aperitivo as the city lights blink on around you.

Please note: a smart‑casual dress code may apply, and opening times or inclusions can vary by season. Reservations may be required and local supplements can apply depending on your chosen board arrangement. Information is based on previous seasons and may change.

As a characterful city townhouse in the historic centre, The Inn at the Spanish Steps doesn’t have a pool or beach – instead, your “water features” are Bernini fountains and Baroque piazzas. In summer, you can cool off with gelato under shady colonnades or retreat to the hotel’s air‑conditioned lounges and roof terrace between sightseeing.

You’re here for Rome’s culture rather than on‑site activities, so facilities are thoughtfully simple. There’s no spa or gym, but you’ll have:

• Welcoming reception and concierge service for restaurant bookings, tours and local tips
• Luggage storage so you can sightsee on arrival or departure days
• Lift access in the main building (helpful after a day on the cobbles)

Most of your “leisure time” will be spent out in the city – from the designer stores of Via dei Condotti to nearby cafés, wine bars and trattorie.
