The Eternal City has eternally been a honeymoon destination for couples wanting both a romantic honeymoon and also memories beyond the inside of a hotel room. The Pantheon, Roman Forum, Largo di Torre Argentina, Arch of Janus, Portico d’Ottavia, and the Colosseum may seem like ancient ruins during the day, but visit them at dusk, watch the sunset at any given location and you’ll find that they can be some of the most romantic venues in the world. While there are so many sites to see and experience in Rome, the hotel can make the real difference in having a wonderfully luxurious honeymoon getaway.
Lifestyle Suites Rome
Waking up to a view of the Fountain of the Four Rivers and St. Agnes in Agony from your honeymoon suite hardly seems like a reality, considering the area was built in the 1400s. Lifestyle Suites Rome has worked to merge a history centuries old with contemporary luxury and elegance, and they’ve done so beautifully. Each suite focuses on a different style, like Tempesta (pictured above) with its mirrors, glass, and steel, or Oggetti with its blue on blue on blue design. The designs will remove you from reality and let you escape – what better idea is there for a honeymoon?
