Of all the 4 star hotels in Rome the Hotel Columbus is truly unique... housed in a 15th century former pope's residence and is consequently a listed or protected building. The hotel's public areas are dominated by high ceilings, vaults and frescoed walls... Indeed in the 15th century King Charles of France after dining here also decided to stay overnight rather than in the Vatican!
