A peaceful stay with a rooftop terrace

Situated away from the crowds on a quiet street in Rome, Hotel Ponte Sisto is steps from the River Tiber at the point where the Sisto Bridge crosses to the city's west side.
 
In between exploring the city, unwind on a lounger beneath a parasol on the hotel's roof terrace, where you can enjoy panoramic views of Rome. The hotel also has a flower-filled courtyard, overlooked by tall palm trees where you can enjoy a refreshing glass of wine. Later, head to the hotel’s Lounge Bar Nerone for an afternoon aperitif or nightcap accompanied by live music. 
 
An American-style buffet breakfast with Italian cappuccino in the garden will set you up for a day exploring Rome. You can reach the Pantheon on foot in about 15 minutes or take a longer 30-minute walk to the Colosseum.  
 

What Hotel Ponte Sisto has to offer

    The Sisto Bridge

    Moments from your hotel, you can cross the pedestrian bridge built in the 1470s, built with an occulus, a circular hole to help relieve the pressure in case of a flood.
     

    Try the street food

    Campo de Fiori is thought to be the oldest market in Rome, and is under a five-minute walk from the hotel. It’s a lively spot perfect for picking up Roman street food like pizza and courgette flowers.

    Sip a ristretto

    This espresso-like coffee shot will kick-start your day. Find a pavement café and join the locals in this daily ritual, or try one at Caffé Greco, which has been going since 1760.

    Find out more about Historic Centre

    Of all the districts in the Italian capital, the centre will give you the best idea of the fascinating history of this city. Stretching from Piazza del Popolo to Piazza Venezia, and from the east bank of the Tiber up to Piazza di Spagna, the Historic Centre – or Centro Storico – of Rome is a treasure trove of history, art, and culture, where every street feels like stepping into a postcard. The Imperial Forums, the countless churches, the Renaissance buildings and the narrow, winding streets, the squares and the monuments – the centre has the very best of what Rome has to offer.

    Anchored by iconic landmarks like the Colosseum, Roman Forum, and Piazza Venezia, this area is a living museum. Marvel at the Pantheon’s architectural brilliance, toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain for good luck, or people-watch in the lively Piazza Navona. Being like a huge, living museum, the Historic Centre was proclaimed a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980, and is bordered by the Aurelian and Gianicolense walls. 

    Beyond the immediate attractions, a leisurely stroll will lead you to the Vatican City or the Trastevere district with its cobblestone charm. Shopaholics can head to Via del Corso for Italian fashion, while foodies rejoice in trattorias offering everything from creamy carbonara to heavenly gelato. By day, explore ancient ruins and baroque masterpieces; by night, enjoy rooftop aperitivos with views of the Eternal City. Rome’s Historic Centre isn’t just a neighbourhood; it’s an experience waiting to inspire you. Are you not entertained?
