The Monti neighbourhood was once a run-down part of the city, but wander its cobbled streets and narrow alleys today and discover its newfound hip status with cool bars, inviting trattorias, and an abundance of fashionable independent shops and vintage boutiques. Halfway between the mighty and romantic frame of the Colosseum and the busy Termini Station, the four-star Hotel 77 Seventy-seven sits in the midst of it all.
The area is a hidden gem, quieter and less touristy than other Roman districts, and it's easy to walk to nearly all the major sights in just 20 minutes from here, besides the Vatican, which you can reach via local transport. Spend some time drinking a beer with the locals on the steps of the Fountain of the Catechumens in Piazza Madonna dei Monti, and soak in the atmosphere as you watch the world go by.
In a city overflowing with crumbling monuments, it's refreshing to stay in a completely renovated hotel boasting modern and designer furnishings, where care and attention to detail are evident wherever you look. After a day on your feet, racking up your step count, nothing could be more welcoming than relaxing in its pretty spa with vaulted stone ceilings – ease into the heated swimming pool, sink into the hot tub, or try the salt cave, sauna or ice waterfall. If missing a workout during your trip is not an option, then the well-equipped gym will more than serve its purpose.
For the ultimate haven of tranquillity, head to the rooftop terrace to gaze out over the Monti district and the stunning Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica. The "Bollicine" Champagne & Lounge Bar means the panoramic views can be enjoyed with a glass of something special in hand, perfect for toasting a glorious trip in this beguiling city.
