The Courtyard by Marriott Rome Central Park

Enjoy a winning combination of convenience and contemporary luxury at Courtyard Rome Central Park. This four-star hotel in the heart of Rome boasts an ideal location near some of the most celebrated destinations in Italy, including the Vatican and Olympic Stadium. Recharge in the spacious hotel rooms with indulgent bedding, free Wi-Fi, marble bathrooms, large flat-panel TVs and most of the rooms offer private balconies.
You can start your day in the fitness center before a delicious breakfast which is included or during our stay, why not enjoy their great Mediterranean cuisine and specialty cocktails on the outdoor terrace at the hotel’s restaurant Moscati. Courtyard Rome Central Park is located in Latium Wine Region, which makes the hotel an ideal base for those interested in trying the local area’s specialties.
