Via Giulia is the straight, quiet Renaissance street that Pope Julius II laid out beside the Tiber, and Hotel Indigo Rome - St. George stands at number 62, right on it. The hotel lists Corso Vittorio Emanuele II about three minutes away on foot, Campo de' Fiori and Castel Sant'Angelo and Piazza Navona each about seven minutes and the Pantheon about eleven, so you are in the middle of the historic centre without being in the crush. It is a smaller property with 62 rooms, including Standard, Premium and Junior Suite categories, and the booking page shows it with a five-star class. Rooms have rainfall showers, laptop workspaces, electric kettles and minibars, and the junior suites sleep up to four, which helps small families. The hotel has I Sofa Restaurant and I Sofa Bar, a cafe, a library, a garden and a rooftop terrace with a bar and restaurant that open seasonally in summer.
The spa is an unexpected extra at this price level. The hotel lists a full-service spa with two treatment rooms, a sauna, a hot tub and hydrotherapy, as well as a twenty-four-hour gym. After a day of cobbles, that is a good thing to come back to. The garden offers a rare green space in the centre, and the library gives a quiet corner for planning the next day. Note that the rooftop is seasonal, so if a rooftop drink is high on your list, visit in the warmer months.
Costs to check include the buffet breakfast, which is a separate per-person charge, parking offsite at a nightly rate, and a city tax per person per night for up to ten nights. The hotel offers street parking nearby, though in central Rome a car is more trouble than help. The nearest tram stop, Arenula-Cairoli, is about twelve minutes on foot, and the airport is a drive of around forty-five minutes. Most guests walk everywhere and take taxis for the Vatican and the Colosseum, or use the buses along Corso Vittorio.
This hotel is a strong choice for couples and design-minded travelers who prefer a boutique feel. The street is beautiful, restaurant choices in the surrounding lanes are excellent and antique dealers and galleries line the road. If you want a bigger resort-style hotel, consider the Rome Cavalieri; if you want to be in the centre with more nightlife, Campo de' Fiori is nearby, but Via Giulia itself goes to sleep early. Book a Premium room or a junior suite for more space, and ask about the rooftop season when you reserve.
