Bottom Line
This historic hotel is housed in an 18th century building that was formerly a Franciscan monastery. Classic decor with antique furnishings, crystal sconces, and dark, stately wood accents create a luxurious, relaxing setting. Hotel Forum Roma features two bars -- one in the lobby and one on the rooftop. The latter area also has a garden restaurant, with fantastic views of the Roman Forum, located right across the street. Those traveling on business can utilize the large meeting room and take advantage of the free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. The 80 guest rooms are on the smaller side, but are decorated in a refined, luxurious style.

Scene
An elegant, stately lobby with antique furniture, relaxing sitting areas, and a bar
The lobby of the hotel is elegant and stately, with marble floors covered with deep red Persian rugs, a large front desk made of carved dark-stained wood, beautiful crystal sconces and light fixtures, and large windows draped with patterned, silky fabrics. As guests venture further into the space, there’s a large sitting area filled with plush velvet couches and refined furniture. Across from the sitting area is a handsome bar with buttery leather seats and beautiful gold-framed paintings. The lobby also has several glass cases featuring various artifacts. Other elements from the original building are present as well, including brick walls and stone columns.
Location
Across the street from the Roman Forum, within walking distance to the Colosseum and other sights
Hotel Forum Roma is located in the Rione Monti area of the city center, directly across a narrow, cobble-stoned street from the archaeological areas of the Roman Forum. It is also within walking distance to many other popular sights, such as the Colosseum, Forum of Augustus, and Piazza Venezia, as well as an array of shops, restaurants, and bars. The neighborhood is a restricted traffic zone, so the hotel is spared noise from passing cars. Getting to Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport is a bit more than a 30-minute drive west.
Rooms
Classically decorated rooms with ornate decor; some units have gorgeous views
Guest rooms here are stately, with a classically ornate presentation. A variety of room styles are offered -- the more deluxe the category, the more luxurious and spacious they are. Hardwood floors, small Persian rugs, large windows covered with refined drapes, and gold-framed paintings of Italian scenery create an elegant ambiance. Covered in silky pillows, beds rest against plush fabric headboards. (Keep in mind some of the beds are two smaller ones pushed together.) All rooms come with flat-screen TVs, large closets, desks, mini-fridges, and upholstered armchairs. While not all units have a view, the ones that do have excellent sights of the forum and surrounding area. Some of the larger rooms come with separate sitting areas as well as additional bedrooms and bathrooms. Standard bathrooms are small and basic, with tiled walls and floors, tub/shower combos, free toiletries, and a bidet. The Suites and Deluxe Rooms have larger bathrooms, some with jetted tubs.
Features
Rooftop garden with restaurant and bar; outdoor terrace and large meeting room also available
A rooftop garden and restaurant are a stunning asset to this hotel. The restaurant -- located indoors with elegant table settings, large lanterns, and a retractable roof -- serves breakfast and lunch buffets as well as dinner. A chic outdoor bar is connected as well. Hotel Forum Roma also has a large outdoor terrace filled with chairs and potted plants, a refined lobby bar, a lobby computer, and a large meeting room that can hold up to 100 people.
