Why book?
DoubleTree by Hilton Rome Monti offers all the comforts of the hotel chain stalwart, with fresh Italian interior design—ideally located near Termini station.
Set the scene
DoubleTree by Hilton has created a sophisticated Roman space that’s reflective of the city thanks to collaborations with local artists and designers. The brand has managed to keep its 133 rooms feeling local and elegant, with polished wood floors and emerald green sofas. On the roof terrace, soft rattan furnishings sit by potted palms, beneath linen canopies.
The backstory
Manuela Mannino and Simone Bretti of London-based interior design firm THDP are behind DoubleTree Rome’s stylish but relaxed vibes. Given carte blanche by DoubleTree’s owners, they took inspiration from Monti’s lively neighborhood eateries, rooftop terraces, as well as the nearby Terme di Caracalla and Museo Archeologico of Palazzo Massimo. There’s a real emphasis on public spaces, so the atrium lobby area—inspired by Rome’s internal courtyards—has rattan chairs, palms, and emerald green velvet sofas that are perfect for relaxing in. The Mùn rooftop bar, meanwhile, serves as a meeting place for hotel guests and Monti residents, who come for the views to Santa Maria Maggiore.
The rooms
DoubleTree by Hilton Rome Monti has perfected the pared-back, informal look, mixing industrial decor with brightly colored rugs atop herringbone wood floors, and original artwork on the walls. Rooms come with espresso machines, rain showers, and sofa beds for extra guests. Some of the suites come with private terraces.
Food and drink
Modern Italian eatery Mamalia Restaurant serves breakfast and dinner, with pastries and cakes in the mornings and pastas and meat dishes in the evening. The vibe is convivial, with long banquet tables designed for big groups and new and old friends. The walls feature industrial wine shelving, and there’s a large Crittall-style steel window so you can see the chefs at work in the kitchen. Short on time? Stop by the in-house MiT Food & Coffee Brewery for an espresso or a quick breakfast or lunch. Come sundown, make a beeline for Mùn Rooftop Cocktail Bar, with its cool, hipster vibes and outdoor terrace views to Santa Maria Maggiore, perfect for aperitivo or after-dinner snacks.
The neighborhood/area
Staying in Monti has all the perks you’d expect, like its proximity to major sights such as Teatro dell'Opera (four minutes away on foot), the Colosseum (15 minutes away on foot), and Basilica Santa Maria Maggiore (four minutes away on foot).
The service
As flawless as you’d expect from a chain hotel, coupled with warm Roman hospitality.
For families
This is the place to go when you’re traveling en masse. We particularly like the Family Connecting Superior Room, which links to separate rooms and has two televisions. At check-in, smiling staff hand the kids coloring books.
Eco effort
Environmentally-minded guests can relax knowing the hotel now holds a Green Key award, meaning they adhere to a strict green policy, doing things like actively lowering their use of energy, water, and waste.
Accessibility
Book the king accessible guest room, which has a roll-in shower, a raised toilet, and extra space for ease of movement.
