The hotel is situated in the heart of the capital, not far from the Termini railway station and a few steps away from the Teatro dell'Opera and government buildings such as the Ministry of the Interior, Ministry of Defence (Palazzo Baracchini) and the Ministries of the Treasury and Agriculture in Via XX Settembre. It is next to the Palazzo Massimo Museum. Piazza Venezia, the Borghese Museum and Via Veneto are a short stroll away, as are the Quirinal Palace, Capitol Hill, the Colosseum and the Roman Forum. The Universo Hotel occupies all of an elegant and sober 19th century building. An airy and modern lobby with various conversation corners and information on all the various Roman entertainment and cultural initiatives leads into the Salone Costantino. This room, with its welcoming and elegant furnishings, is perfect for unwinding and listening, if you wish, to a pleasant musical background.
