Hotel Boomerang  

On Rome’s western edge in Castel di Guido, Hotel Boomerang sits like a green oasis off the Via Aurelia and the GRA. A short drive drops you at St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican Museums and Piazza Navona. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, it’s a handy base for sightseeing with easy airport access.

Born from an American-motel idea, the property keeps large open lawns, a pool and private parking right outside each room. Rooms are air-conditioned with LCD TVs, private balconies or patios and modern bathrooms (some with rainfall showers and bidets). Recent renovations, a refreshed bar and garden areas combine with an eco-minded 'Green Project'—solar thermal and photovoltaic systems plus LED lighting—for a relaxed, slightly retro vibe.

Take a dip in the seasonal outdoor pool, lounge on the terrace or wander the extensive garden. On-site extras include a solarium, hair salon, library, picnic area and playrooms for kids. Free self-parking and concierge services add convenience for drivers and families.

Express check-in and check-out, limo/town car service and roundtrip airport shuttles (24-hour, surcharge) are available. Train station drop-offs and cruise terminal transfers can be arranged, and multilingual staff help streamline group travel.

Grab a drink and alfresco bites at the poolside bar/lounge with garden views. There’s also a café for coffee and to-go breakfasts (available 7:00–10:00 AM for a fee), plus limited-hours room service when you want to stay in.
