Hotel San Giovanni in Rome’s Appio Latino neighbourhood has joined the LVG Hotel Collection.
A laid-back Roman neighbourhood
There are neighbourhoods in Rome that still preserve the city’s authentic rhythm and Appio Latino is one such. Strolling through its streets is a journey through centuries of history just a matter of minutes from
the Basilica of St John Lateran and a metro station ready to take you to the Colosseum, the Spanish Steps or the Vatican.
Hotel San Giovanni, LVG's newest property
In this district on Via Licia stands the 4-star Hotel San Giovanni that has just joined the LVG Hotel Collection, the hotel group founded in Novara and currently undergoing steady expansion across Italy’s main destinations where it now has 22 properties. This move into the capital marks a new stage in the brand’s growth, and showcases a different side of Rome with its understated elegance and history.
With 82 guestrooms and a meeting room
The building tells a fascinating story in its own right. Once owned by a religious congregation, it was completely restored and in 2018 transformed into a hotel that has preserved the charm of its original architecture. The 82 refined rooms, communal areas, the generous continental breakfast, the bar, room service, car park and free Wi-Fi complete an offering that caters to both leisure and business travellers. There is also a 30-seat meeting room for small corporate events or professional meetings.
Close to the famous Appian Way
The real added value, however, lies in its location. Appio Latino is one of the most pleasant neighbourhoods to explore on foot, surrounded by the Aurelian Walls and with a residential atmosphere that is less touristy yet a charming side of Rome. From here, it’s easy to set off to explore the Appian Way one of the world’s most famous archaeological routes, and the neighbourhood has a vibrant food scene, with historic trattorias, pizzerias, contemporary eateries and small markets where you can soak up everyday Roman life.
Perfect for leisure and business visitors
For those planning a weekend in Rome, a cultural trip or a business trip, this new venture offers the chance to discover Rome at a leisurely pace, and be surprised by a city which, even off the beaten track continues to offer unexpected delights.
