Location

The Hotel del Corso is in the heart of Rome, in a downtown area that preserves monuments, Renaissance palazzos and the inebriating atmosphere of the city in tact.

The elegant building that houses the hotel is on Via del Corso, just minutes from the Trinità dei Monti steps and enchanting Piazza di Spagna, traditional tourist destination crowned by the Barcaccia fountain.

Nearby, shopping heaven: Via Borgogna, Via Frattina and Via dei Condotti all cross Via del Corso. Their boutique windows teem with the latest fashions designed by the most famous Italian designers. Numerous other shops offer exclusive brands like Prada, Louis Vuitton, Cartier and Tiffany.

If you're looking for something to spark your imagination, enter Via Margutta, the ancient ‘artists' street’, popular with those looking for the hottest restaurants, valuable antiques and a look at the artwork in the annual painting exhibit ‘One hundred Painters in Via Margutta’.

Continue towards Piazza del Popolo until you're standing in front of the Church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli and steps to the Pincian Hill leading to the large Villa Borghese park with magnificent views of Rome.

The villa hosts an extraordinary art gallery including works by artists like Caravaggio, Raffaello and Tiziano. The park also includes a Bio-park, the Modern Art Gallery and the splendid Lake Garden with the Temple of Aesculapius.

The Vatican City is the symbol of Christianity but beyond its undeniable spiritual role, it houses peerless historic and artistic assets. The Vatican Buildings, home to the Pope, preserves libraries (over one million books and antique manuscripts!), museums (Egyptian and Etruscan art), masterpieces like the famous Pietà or magnificent Sistine Chapel, by Michelangelo, a rich art gallery and the Pope's sumptuous apartments. And the icing on the cake, St. Peter's Basilica. The spectacular dome dominates the large square, center of Catholic prayer, adorned by Bernini's colonnade. For any information, ask for advice and suggestions at the hotel desk.
