I recommend any of them right on the street leading to the Vatican.

Hi,,, check out Hotels.com they will have all you need to know and you can pick out which one easy ....

PS: be very aware of the Pickpockets and purse snatchers in Rome !!!! and any large cities there,,,, cameras also,,, They are very good at their trade,,,

Also, the Systine Chapel, is only open certain days, go to see the Vatican one day and the Chapel the next, go very early because the line are very long and it is open just so long,, it takes 4 hours from the beginning until you get to the chapel itself.. wear comfortable shoes..

good luck

Grand Hotel Plaza in Rome is great and super central..You can walk to all of the major monuments.. Tomb of the unknown soldier is just down the street, Trevi fountain.. we stayed their, and walked to all of them.

just look at on this link, it gives several hotels more close to Vatican City. and you can use Maps to view the exact locations

To see the hotels availability, change the date you hope to go there

Below are two lists of hotels for you that would meet your criteria. The first list of hotels is in the midst of a lot of the sites of Rome. The Vatican is about 1.5 mi. away. The second list of hotels are closer to the Vatican. If you're planning to focus a lot of time at the Vatican, then I'd recommend a hotel from the 2nd list. If you're spending time in Rome to see a lot of sights, then choose from the first list. All of these hotels are 4-5 star hotels so you can't really go wrong with any you pick.

Also, if you're condering any of those from the 1st list then make sure you book with a TA that's affiliated w/ Virtuoso. They can offer you a lot of extras and a nice discount on the rate compared to the published rate. If you'd like to discuss, please feel free to email me at gas_stlmo@yahoo.com.


Hotels on or near the Via Veneto:

Westin Hotel Excelsior
St. Regis Grand
Regina Hotel Baglioni
Hotel Majestic Roma
Hotel Eden

Hotels closer to Vatican:
Hotel Atlante Star
Hotel Alimandi Vaticano
Hotel Atlante Garden
Hotel Cicerone
