Palazzo Manfredi
Rome, Lazio, Italy · Virtuoso · 2026 benefits
Palazzo Manfredi is an elegant hideaway in the center of what was once imperial Rome. The charming 17th century palace has spectacular views of the Colosseum, the Forum, and the Domus Aurea, combined with superb hospitality. Built over the ruins of the Ludus Magnus, the gymnasium used by Roman gladiators, Palazzo Manfredi was the hunting pavilion of the Guidi gardens. Today it is tastefully adorned with art ranging from 16th century antique paintings to contemporary pieces. The hotel offers an intimate experience, crowned only by a meal at the hotel’s Aroma restaurant where the unparalleled vistas of ancient Rome are beautifully matched by the culinary delights. Location - Ludus Magnus We…
Echoes of ancient chariots rise from the Colosseum, which appears to be within arm’s reach of Palazzo Manfredi. (A gladiator school once stood a few meters from where the hotel now stands.) Yet this 16th-century palazzo dazzles with more than just its jaw-dropping views. The 15 rooms and five suites fuse Palladian wallpaper, faux fur, Roman busts, and eel-skin-topped tables to surprisingly successful effect; windows overlooking the monument are a must. Sip a cocktail in the bar before slipping behind a plate of lobster medallions on the Aroma restaurant’s terrace. The concierge can arrange private tours with the city’s top guides.
