comfortable base for exploring the eternal city
Nestled in the heart of Rome, along the winding Tiber River – the Best Western Hotel Astrid offers a comfortable place to stay combined with warm and inviting Italian hospitality. Even without leaving the neighbourhood, you’ll be surrounded with plenty of things to see and do.
Just an 11-minute stroll from the hotel is the MAXXI museum – the national centre for contemporary art and architecture. The building itself is worthy of a photo or two and full of modern attractions just begging to be discovered. The ancient square of Piazza del Popolo is just 20-minutes away, too – designed between 1811 and 1822, it welcomed visitors entering the city from the ancient Roman road of Via Flaminia.
While at the square, don’t forget to visit Caffè Rosati – a historical meeting place that dates all the way back to 1922. Back at the hotel, meanwhile, you can enjoy sweeping views of St Peter's Basilica from the rooftop terrace before heading to your spacious room for a peaceful night’s sleep.
What Best Western Hotel Astrid has to offer
The Sistine Chapel
Most famously known as Michelangelo’s canvas – the Sistine Chapel is visited by millions from all over the world for its splendid fresco beauty. The chapel was erected between 1473–1481 and was designed by Italian architect Giovanni dei Dolci.
The Pantheon
The Pantheon is one of the most recognisable Roman buildings and dates back to 27 BCE. Designed as a temple to honour the Gods, it later became the burial ground for kings and famous artists.
The Trevi Fountain
Any movie set in Italy almost always features this famous fountain. Built between 1732 to 1762 this intricate baroque landmark in the centre of Rome is made from travertine stone – the same sturdy material as the Colosseum.
