This is the city to wander; she has always attracted the masses for her beauty, history and charm. Plus, it’s hard to have a bad meal here.

GO to the Colosseum, then head to the Roman Forum, the Trevi Fountain, Piazza Navona, the Spanish Steps, and lastly The Vatican Museums and St. Peters Basilica with their abundant treasures and spiritual indulgence.

STAY at The Rome Cavalieri Hilton and impress your clients, business associates or spouse by splurging on the Penthouse Suite with two Jacuzzis, original artwork by Andy Warhol and a private rooftop deck with stunning views of Rome. The hotel has an award-winning Convention Center, totaling 86,000 square feet. At The St. Regis Grand just walking into the lobby is a treat for the senses; both the public spaces and the rooms have elegant old-world charm. At The InterContinental De La Ville Roma, nestled above the Spanish Steps, the Penthouse Suite has beautiful balconies perfect for hosting an intimate affair. Forty Seven Hotel, a small hotel near the Roman Forum, boasts original artwork and a hip rooftop bar.

EAT at La Pergola, perched atop the Rome Cavalieri Hilton. This three-star Michelin restaurant requires reservations at least a month in advance. When I ate there, John Mayer and Jessica Simpson were sampling the gourmet genius of Heinz Beck—a German who works his magic with local Italian ingredients. At Vivendo, in the St. Regis Grand, the dishes, setting and service are certain to delight. At La Ninfa, in the Hotel Majestic Roma, the homemade smoked salmon blows away any smoked fish I’ve ever eaten—and I’ve sampled a lot of smoked salmon.

EVENT SITES The Rome Cavalieri Hilton, The St. Regis Grand, The InterContinental De La Ville Roma, the Hotel Majestic Roma, and Forty Seven Hotel all host an array of events, celebrations and meetings. Also, consider booking events at Rome’s historical and cultural attractions.
