Some of the iconic sites to see include spots from La Grande Bellezza, Angels & Demons, Roman Holiday and La Dolce Vita. Guests can also choose a self-guided tour of the city with suggestions from Agostino Sità, the hotel’s concierge and former president of Rome Les Clefs d’Or. His former role gave him a unique knowledge of Rome’s hidden gems.

 

Following the day of film tours around the Eternal City, guests enjoy an Italian film-inspired dinner at the hotel’s on-site Settimo, followed by a cocktail and dessert pairing as a turndown service. The dinner’s tasting menu reflects iconic films based in Rome with dishes like minestrone, from the first scene in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; toasted pistachio parmesan arancini, from The Godfather; and saltimbocca alla Romana, a favorite dish of the character Dino from Three Coins in the Fountain. The in-room cocktail and gelato flight seeks inspiration from Audrey Hepburn’s stop for a sweet at Rome’s Piazza di Spagna in Roman Holiday.
