Residenza Paolo VI  

On the edge of Vatican City, steps from St. Peter's Square and St. Peter's Basilica. This boutique guesthouse in Rome puts the Sistine Chapel, Vatican Museums, Castel Sant'Angelo, Roman Forum and the Colosseum within easy reach.

Housed in a converted Augustinian monastery, the property keeps its ancient walls and a quiet, private vibe in the pulsing heart of the Eternal City. There are 35 air-conditioned rooms; some look over the internal courtyard, the Holy Office or directly at St. Peter’s Dome. Expect plasma TVs, minibars, safes, private bathrooms with bidets and complimentary toiletries.

Take in close-up views of St. Peter’s from a rooftop terrace and sip drinks at the bar/lounge. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. A snack bar/deli and limited room service are on hand. Cots and an elevator add practical comfort — and you can wake up to St. Peter’s-dome mornings.

24-hour front desk with multilingual staff and concierge services. Dry cleaning and laundry available, plus luggage storage. Airport and cruise terminal shuttles can be arranged for a surcharge.

A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily (typically 7:00–10:00), with an American-style option noted. Grab a quick bite at the snack bar/deli, enjoy in-room service during limited hours, or unwind with a drink at the bar/lounge.
