What makes the hotel stand out
Travel Gay lists Celio in its Rome hotel guide among the most-booked properties and stresses that the gay bars are within walking distance. It is not a queer hotel, but its location right by the scene around Via di San Giovanni in Laterano makes it a convenient base.
Rooms and amenities
The hotel goes for opulence: oil paintings, frescoes, trompe-l’œil and, in some rooms, Roman mosaic floors. There is also a small spa area with steam room and massages, and a roof terrace with a view towards the Colosseum. Breakfast costs extra. There is no lift.
A good fit if you …
- want both the Colosseum and the Gay Street on your doorstep
- like historic flair with a touch of kitsch
Not ideal if you …
- prefer understated design
- depend on a lift
