Retrome Hotel Rome – Chic Retro Boutique Hotel in the Heart of the Eternal City

By Kach Umandap October 27th, 2016 Posted in Europe Travel Blog, Luxury Hotel Review, Travel Blog No comments

While my wife checked into a health camp, I decided to use my time to have a ‘mancation’ with my good friend, Johnny Williams. But before we went to a ‘honeymoon/ bromoon’ cruise with Costa Cruises, we stayed in a unique and amazing Retrome Hotel in Rome. What a catchy name, don’t you think? And aside from its catchy name, the interior is a feast for the eyes. It’s filled with classic pieces coupled with a bit of modern touch that makes this property perfect for travelers of all ages.

This chic retro boutique hotel is located in Celio and is just a sneeze away from the Coliseum. Imagine such  property just walks away from a very famous structure!  Surprisingly, it’s not crowded considering its proximity from tourist destinations. You would definitely feel the true Italian vibe as you hear the scooters passing by.
