Palazzo Manfredi

The remains of the Ludus Magnus lie just outside Palazzo Manfredi, with the Colosseum beyond them. This former gladiator training ground gives the hotel an unusually direct connection to ancient Rome. The address on Via Labicana occupies a 17th-century residence, where contemporary furniture and patterned interiors sit close to the archaeological landscape rather than apart from it.

The property has several distinct settings: the historic hotel, Grand View Suites in the residence next door, Aroma on the hotel's top floor and The Court between the two buildings. Their perspectives differ, as do the rooms themselves. Courtyard, Oppian Hill and Colosseum outlooks each belong to particular accommodation categories.

The original building was designed for the Evangelisti family in the early 17th century by Giovanni Battista Mola. It later became a hunting lodge for the Guidi family after an 18th-century remodeling. An epigraph on the small loggia at the top of the building bears Cicero's motto about virtue and fortune. Those layers give the residence a history of its own, separate from the much older monuments that dominate the surrounding views.

Inside, oak floors, marble bathrooms and decorative wallpaper accompany contemporary furnishings and earlier works of art. The approach is residential rather than uniform. In the Executive rooms, for example, velvet armchairs and marble sinks share the interior with lighting by Ingo Maurer and Van Egmond, while wallpaper designs evoke libraries or Roman rooftops.

The 25-square-meter Prestige room faces the inner courtyard and has a bathtub. Its king-size bed and contemporary accent pieces create a different interior setting from the monument-facing categories. Here the outlook is into the Roman residence itself, with the courtyard supplying the room's immediate connection to the building. Executive rooms measure 27 square meters and look toward Oppian Hill.

Each Executive room has a shower bathroom, and the decorative scheme varies between rooms. Velvet upholstery, marble and distinctive lighting give these interiors their individual character without relying on a Colosseum view. They occupy the first, second and third floors of the hotel.

In the Master room, the Colosseum and Ludus Magnus become the named outlook. This 25-square-meter category has a king-size bed and a shower overlooking the Colosseum. The rooms occupy the second and third floors, bringing the ancient setting into a compact accommodation rather than reserving it exclusively for the largest suites.

The Ludus Magnus Suite takes its name from the ruins immediately outside. Its 60 square meters contain a living room, a master bedroom with a king-size bed and two shower bathrooms. The ground-floor position gives this suite a particular relationship with the former gladiator school, while its outlook also takes in the Colosseum. A different use of 60 square meters appears in the Colosseo Suite.

In the Colosseo Suite, windows on three sides illuminate an open-plan interior with living and sleeping areas, a bathroom and a wellness area containing a mini-gym and whirlpool bath. The views extend from the Colle Oppio gardens toward the Colosseum, with mirrors carrying the light and outlook through the interior.

The Grand View Suites occupy the adjacent residence, not the main historic hotel. Rationalist architecture and a more restrained contemporary design distinguish this part of the property. Travertine bathrooms, broad glazing and clearly defined living spaces are prominent features, with the Ludus Magnus and Colosseum forming the outlook of the named Grand View categories.

At 80 square meters, the Grand View Gallery Suite contains a large living room, a bedroom and a travertine bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower. Cassina Utrecht chairs, Baxter sofas and Glamora wallpaper bring recognizable design pieces into the interior. A panoramic balcony overlooks the Ludus Magnus and Colosseum, extending the suite's living space outdoors.

The 120-square-meter Grand View Suite Colosseo is arranged over two levels. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the living area, with a whirlpool bath and large walk-in shower in the relaxation space. Upstairs are the bedroom, with its rounded double bed, and a large bathroom. A terrace provides another view across the gladiator school and amphitheater.

The Grand View Penthouse Suite expands to 150 square meters across two levels at the top of the residence. Its open living room leads to a Colosseum-facing balcony, while a spiral staircase reaches two double bedrooms. Each bedroom has a private bathroom with a walk-in shower, and a powder room serves the living level.

A small balcony also opens from the penthouse's master bedroom. This creates a second outdoor connection, distinct from the balcony adjoining the living room. The suite's contemporary furnishings and divided sleeping and living levels give the interior a substantially different arrangement from the main hotel's compact rooms.

Manfredi Apartments are another, separately located part of the collection, with addresses on Via Marco Aurelio and Via dei Serpenti. They occupy separate city addresses rather than rooms or apartments inside the main hotel, distinct from the adjacent Grand View residence.

Aroma occupies the top floor of Palazzo Manfredi, where its terrace faces the Colosseum. Breakfast is served in this panoramic setting, and the restaurant's cooking is led by Giuseppe Di Iorio. Its position gives the hotel a dining space with a direct architectural relationship to the amphitheater, high above the Ludus Magnus ruins.

The kitchen draws on classic Italian and Mediterranean cooking, using ingredients from producers in the surrounding region. Tasting menus give the food its own focus alongside the view. Di Iorio's interpretation of saltimbocca alla romana uses prosciutto in consomme and sage-infused cream. The wine selection reaches beyond Italy and places particular emphasis on Champagne, adding an international dimension to a restaurant otherwise closely tied to its Roman setting.

The Court occupies the space between the hotel and the Grand View residence. Two high walls enclose the sides of this cocktail terrace, leaving the Colosseum and Ludus Magnus as its principal outlook. A long bar counter and stools line one side, with a conversation area opposite and a walkway running between them.

The bar's palette combines warm yellow and orange with midnight blue, black and white. Contemporary seating gives the terrace a different character from Aroma upstairs, while cocktails remain the center of the experience. Framed by the high walls and the archaeological view, The Court makes the narrow space between Palazzo Manfredi's buildings a distinct part of the property.
