THE BIRTH OF ROME’S HOTEL FORUM
Rome’s Hotel Forum was inaugurated in the spring of 1962, after three years of renovation work carried out by Mr Angelo Troiani. He transformed an old building that, in ancient times, was once occupied by a convent of Dominican monks attached to the church of San Quirico e Giulitta.
The hotel is located within walking distance of the Imperial Fora, in front of the impressive ruins of Torre dei Conti in the heart of the imperial city and close to what was known in ancient Rome as the "Porticus Absidata” in the Forum of Nerva. By taking a few steps to the right, you will come across the Campidoglio, or a few steps to the left for an extraordinary view of the Colosseum. We are in the heart of this historical medieval and Renaissance city. If the Forum was intended as the prototype for a haven in the most classical and evocative part of the city of Rome, the result is perfect. Complementing this picture is the building in which a hotel was built: a former convent, dating back to the 18th century and designed by the famous architect Gabriele Valvassori.
